An exciting college football betting opportunity is on its way as the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-1) battle the 24th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (3-1) on Saturday, September 28 at 3:30 PM ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. For this Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Texas A&M Aggies betting preview, the Aggies are favored by a point spread at -4.0 (-110).
The Razorbacks are on a two-game win streak after defeating the Auburn Tigers 24-14 in their last game. They were able to take care of business and take advantage of the Tigers' mistakes.
Taylen Green had some mistakes of his own, as he had two interceptions that gave the Tigers some life on offense. He put up 151 yards and a touchdown on 12 of 27 completions while also rushing 18 times for 80 yards.
The Razorbacks accumulated 334 yards while allowing 431 from the Tigers. The key factor here was turnovers, as the Razorbacks had two, and the Tigers had five. They arguably had an easy game in that regard, so they will need to not be as careless with the ball against the Aggies.
They are averaging 27.3 points and allowing 26.7 points a game from opponents (these stats are excluding their 70-0 blowout win over the UAPB Golden Lions, offering a more realistic picture). The spread here is razor-thin, so they will need to find ways to take care of the football without wasting valuable possessions.
The Aggies have won three straight after losing their opener. Their latest win was a 26-20 performance over the Bowling Green Falcons, where they struggled at times to hold back their offense.
Marcel Reed completed 16 of 29 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 91 yards on 12 carries. Jahdae Walker had recorded three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown.
They had 408 yards and allowed 339 from the Falcons, which shows how rough their defense slowed them down. They did have possession of the ball for a little over 33 minutes, so this played into their hands.
The Aggies are averaging 31.0 points a game and holding opponents to 18.3 points per matchup. This is a good spread and offers them a comfortable level of safety.
