Your Saturday freebie is New Mexico State as the big dog at Arkansas.
Yes, this Aggies-Hogs contest has been bumped up to a noon eastern time start, but I don't think the early kick for the traveling Aggies is going to keep them from staying inside of this roomy impost against an Arkansas team that seems to like to give up the points in droves.
Bret Bielema's job is certainly in jeopardy after yet another loss to Texas A&M - another overtime affair to-boot.
New Mexico State is 2-2 straight up, but against the spread they are a perfect 4-0, and have now covered 11 of their last 15 lined contests. The Ags have also made road stops in the SEC at Kentucky, Florida and Ole Miss in recent seasons, so don't expect them to be cowed by a Razorbacks team that is just 5-8 their last 13 when favored at home.
Arkansas will get by, but I don't see it being by the margin they are being asked to cover.
Live dog play goes out on New Mexico State to make Big Bret Bielema sweat a little more...Pig Soo-eee!
