Arkansas has won and covered the number in three consecutive games, including a 52-14 victory over Northern Illinois as 13.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total in all four contests this season.\u00a0 The Razorbacks are averaging 484.5 yards per game, which is important to consider when making your Week 5 college football picks, as that current pace would break the previous school record set in 2010.\u00a0 It\u2019s also important to point out that head coach Bret Bielema is 31-6 SU in his career during the month of September.\u00a0 Arkansas is 1-3 SUATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Razorbacks rank sixth nationally in averaging 324.5 rushing yards per game, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Arkansas\u2019 2014 FBS opponents have lost just one game to a non-SEC school and are 28-1 overall against non-SEC opponents.\u00a0 The team\u2019s running backs pace the nation with 17 touchdowns, with Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins leading the way with seven and five scores on the ground respectively.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS after picking up a 58-6 blowout victory over the SMU Mustangs as 33.5-point road favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total of 60.5.\u00a0 The Aggies are 4-0 for the first time since 2006\u2014winning each game by at least 24 points.\u00a0 Defensively, the program is much improved in comparison to a year ago, as it has allowed jsut 19 points in its past three games to rank eighth nationally.\u00a0 Texas A&M is 11-6 SU and 8-9 ATS versus conference opponents over the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Aggies are being led offensively by signal-caller Kenny Hill, who has thrown for 1,359 yards and 13 touchdowns this season\u2014making most fans in College Station forget about former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel.\u00a0 Texas A&M is seeking to win its first five games of a season for the first time since 2001.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Razorbacks due to the Aggies being 4-9 ATS versus teams with a winning record since 2012.<\/p>\n
