Clay Henry: Arkansas is due in this series. Plus, it doesn’t seem like A&M has the same kind of offense as in recent seasons. That’s right, I think the Hogs make a field goal because it’s likely going to be a new kicker. Arkansas 24-20.

Dudley E. Dawson: I was fully expecting to pick Texas A&M in this game, but then I watched the Aggies barely get past Nicholls State. It won’t be a Southwest Classic, but the off date helps the Razorbacks heal and get better. Arkansas 21-17.

Matt Jones: If you thought TCU ran the ball well, wait until you see Trayveon Williams. I expect the Hogs’ offense to be better, but I’m not sure it can hang with the Aggies. Texas A&M 27-17.

Jimmy Carter: Both teams want to run the ball and be physical in what has turned into the coaching Hot Seat Bowl. Texas A&M is better on both lines. Texas A&M 28-14

Harry King: The Razorbacks can’t be as bad as they looked vs. the Frogs and the Aggies lost their starting quarterback in the debacle that was the season opener. Arkansas 22-21.

Chip Souza: Texas A&M has owned the Razorbacks since joining the SEC, but that changes today. The Aggies are in disarray and now is the time to end that streak in Jerry’s house wearing Jerry’s nearly identical Cowboys replica uniforms. Arkansas 28-21.

Bo Mattingly: Arkansas has had two weeks to fix its running issues, but I’m not sure it will happen. Hard to pick the Razorbacks until that’s corrected. This seems like another bad matchup for the Hogs. Aggies showed some explosiveness in the first half against UCLA. Texas A&M 24-17.
