Texas A&M vs Arkansas Prediction

The current betting odds have Arkansas listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arkansas has looked good in their games this season with their 20-7 record overall and their 10-4 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 14-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has looked good in their games this season with their 19-8 record overall and their 9-5 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have been a good road team too with their 5-4 road record this year. They definitely haven't been at their best in road games though and lately they haven't looked as good with the schedule getting tougher. They started the SEC schedule hot, but they were also beating up on a lot of the worst teams in the conference. Now they are off a win over Oklahoma and they have won 2 games in a row again against weaker opponents, but they are still 2-3 in their last 5 games and have been struggling against the top teams all year. Arkansas hasn't been the best team in the SEC at any point this season, but they have a really good team that is a true contender to win this conference. They are off a nice bounce back win over Missouri in their last one and they have been rolling lately, going 4-1 in their last 5 games. Arkansas has had some tight games against stronger opponents, but they are off an 8 point win at home after a double OT loss and they have been crushing teams by double digits on their home court all season. Texas A&M has been great at beating up on bad teams in the SEC all season, but they have struggled against the top of the conference all year and they will show their true colors in this road game. The best way to place a bet here is on Arkansas to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"Great win by our guys. Look, I've known Oklahoma and their staff for a while. I told them before the game, I felt sorry for those guys. I've watched them play all year long – they've been in every game. Sometimes, you'll be there and it's not your night. I've seen Oklahoma in these games just not be their night late in those games, man. They could easily have a flipped record here in a lot of these games. So we know they're a good team, and they're really good at home. They're playing good basketball. They obviously won at Vanderbilt and they've been tough in this gym for sure.” - Bucky McMillan after his team’s win against Oklahoma in their last game. 


"I was prepared to defend them if they just didn't have it today. I was ready. I had it. You want me to tell you what I was going to say? I'd tell you that they didn't have it. I got their backs. That Alabama game where you make more baskets. More 3s. Six, seven turnovers, they have 12, that's more possessions. Six blocks against one block, and you lose, and it's on the road, and it's crazy. Wouldn't you expect a letdown this game?” - John Calipari after his team’s win against Mizzou in their last game.
