1. This game comes down to a last-second field goal

Let’s face it, this is the best Arkansas team that we’ve seen in probably a decade and the Razorbacks are on a nine-game losing streak against Texas A&M and we’ve seen plenty of close games between these rivals despite one side being far less talented for years.

This feels like a different matchup.

Arkansas is riding high thanks to Sam Pittman. He took over a program that hadn’t won an SEC game in two years and immediately won three conference games last season and could challenge one of the top contenders in Week 4. He has worked wonders in Fayetteville.

This is going to be one of the most intense battles of Week 4 and I think Arkansas has enough to keep up with the Aggies this time around and Zach Calzada’s struggles will keep this one very close.

I think this one comes down to a last-second field goal. Flip a coin to see who wins.
