08:35 AM ET 10.08 | Texas A&M and Arkansas will have a chance to air things out in Arlington. Ryan Mallett of Arkansas is second in the nation, averaging 359.5 yards passing per game. Texas A&M's Jerrod Johnson has a gun for an arm but tends to throw a lot of interceptions. He threw 62 passes in last week's loss at Oklahoma State but had an interception to set up the winning field goal for the Cowboys. There will be at least 90 passes thrown in this game and the number could be closer to 100. The winner will be the team that can get a couple of defensive stops. That would be Arkansas.

Wow, is this article typical of what the AJC offers?

Yeah, its all going to come down to Johnson not losing the game all by himself. I've never seen someone give the game away the way he did to OSU, if you take away all the mistakes, the cowboys were never even in that game. I will give A&M's defense some credit, they are much improved from last year but they have a ways to go before they can compete with a ranked SEC team.

Johnson had shoulder surgery in the offseason and his throws just don't look the same this year. Plus ... A&M has a couple of really good RBs ... so I'm not understanding why coach Sherman wants to throw it 50 times a game.

OK guys....long time reader, first-time poster....be nice. Can someone explain to me why the line on this game is down to less than 6 points? I admit I lack some perpsective (Arky Grad), but Hogs won 47-19 last year and both teams look to have the same key players back this year. Arky has had a week to recover from a tough (close) loss to Alabama & the defense looks OK....what am I missing??

Wow, how things change - Arky is getting props for their D. Who'da thunk it?
Probably just a byproduct of being compared to sheepshaggers' D.

Mallet only throws INTs if you pressure him which is what Alabama did. Can A&M pressure him?

Line started at 7 1/2....down to 5 1/2 now. I understand $$ moves the line, just don't understand why it started at 7 1/2?? The game is in Dallas at Jerry-world (leaving in about 3 hrs to head to big D), so no home-game advantage. Mallett had 30+ TD's w/ only 7 INT last year. 'Bama made him throw 3, but they'll make a bunch of QB's do that this year...not him MO. I can't see da sheep playing within 21 of Arky

Same thing here for the Gators. It's the kiss of death when I bet on them, so I just don't.

The AJC has had a couple of good sportswriters. Exec leadership (Cox-level) have run them off. What's left are immasculated bully-fodder (Mark Bradley), as-long-as-the-bar's-open-I-could-care-less (Jeff Schultz), and a gaggle of nobody-will-ever-know-my-names. The blurb above is actually a better example of the scribblings published in the AJC Sports pages.

You'd be getting a deal at 9, but the lines are going at mostly 6.5.

Good question, Texas Aimless did not look good last week, if the points are close take Arkansas.
I approved this statement

Why would Arkansas pass so much when we've got such a strong running game?.....(sarcasm,guys). Seriously though, I'm passed ready to see Arkansas show it's talent with the pass. So far this year i am not as impressed as i was last year.
