Where experts see an edge in new Texas A&M vs. Arkansas prediction

Experts reveal their prediction and betting preference for Texas A&M vs. Arkansas in college football’s Week 8 action on Saturday.

One of two remaining undefeated teams in the SEC, the Aggies improved to 3-0 in conference play, allowing no more than 17 points to a single league opponent and surrendering just 36 combined points in that span.

Arkansas is on a four-game losing streak and in the midst of a midseason coaching change, but played a ranked Tennessee team close on the road in a three-point loss, but still play a rushing offense that is among the 20 most productive in the nation.

Where are the experts putting their money as the Razorbacks welcome the Aggies?
