The Aggies started SEC play 7-1; one of the surprises of the league. After a four-game skid, they are fighting to receive a double bye. After winning two games in a row, they are back on track. A win versus Arkansas will spring them back into the top four.
Arkansas is 20-7 overall, 10-4 in SEC play, and ranked 20th in the nation. The Razorbacks have been one of the best offenses in the country. They shoot nearly 38% from beyond the line. This is sparked by their freshman duo of Darius Acuff and Malik Thomas; good for a combined 37.5 points a game.
The Razorbacks are a projected 5 seed in March Madness currently. This is the type of team that can really make noise. Their ability to score in bunches allows them to go blow-for-blow with any team in the country.
Texas A&M vs Arkansas will be a fun one. Both teams love playing in the 80s and the 90s. The key factor for this game is form. Arkansas has won 4 of its last 5, while A&M has won 4 of its last 6. A&M has done a poor job covering recently, being 1-5 ATS. We believe those woes will continue. Our pick is Arkansas ATS (-7.5)
