This game seems to always go down to the wire with the Aggies always finishing on the winning end. Three out of the past five seasons the game between the Razorbacks and Aggies has gone on into overtime, with the Aggies coming out on top each time.

Even last year when the Aggies were one of the better teams in the SEC and Arkansas was at the bottom, the Aggies still only won by a touchdown. I expect this year to be the exact same as the previous seasons, a close game that comes down to the fourth quarter or even overtime.

This starts a stretch for the Razorbacks where they face A&M, Kentucky, Auburn, Alabama and Mississippi State. That is by far the toughest stretch on their schedule.

A&M has what is most likely the hardest schedule in the nation as they face Clemson, Georgia and LSU all on the road, not to mention the rest of their SEC West opponents. At least they get Alabama at home, but the Tide are still the Tide. Texas A&M could face four top five teams in the nation.

With that said, Texas A&M has no room for error and they will come out on top against a much improved Arkansas team.

Final Score: Arkansas 21, Texas A&M 27 (3-2, 0-2)
