Why Texas A&M can cover

Texas A&M has been without starting quarterback Conner Weigman (shoulder) the past two weeks, but the Aggies were still able to pick up wins over Florida and Bowling Green. Freshman quarterback Marcel Reed has filled in admirably, throwing for 422 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He adds a dual-threat ability, rushing for 217 yards and an additional score. 

Weigman is officially listed as questionable for Saturday, but the coaching staff has not announced an official starter. The Aggies also have a strong rushing attack led by junior running back Le’Veon Moss, who has racked up 354 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Texas A&M is 9-1 in its last 10 games as a favorite, and it has won 11 of the last 12 meetings between these teams. See which team to pick here. 

Why Arkansas can cover

Arkansas has been underrated to open the season, covering the spread in three of its first four games. The Razorbacks’ lone outright loss came at then-No. 16 Oklahoma State, but they pushed the Cowboys to double overtime as 10-point underdogs. Their performance last week was arguably their best of the campaign, as they notched a 24-14 road win at Auburn as 2.5-point underdogs. 

Junior quarterback Taylen Green threw for 151 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 80 yards on 18 carries. Senior running back Ja’Quinden Jackson rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns. Arkansas is 5-1 against the spread in its last five games as an underdog, and it has covered in four of the last six meetings between these teams. See which team to pick here.
