A&M is 17-2, 7-0 SEC play, and jumped up to 5th Nationally this week. They have been playing very well, even moreso recently. They have decent wins vs Top 25 teams (Gonzaga & Baylor). Furthermore they have already played Arkansas once this year, winning by 23 points.
Arkansas on the other hand is going in the opposite direction. They are losers of their last 3, and are only 9-10 overall and 3-4 in SEC play. This game is at Arkansas but they dont necessarily dominate their home court. They have lost at home this year to Akron, Georgia Tech, Stanford, MERCER!, and Kentucky. Thats not exactly a murders row of teams.
Some of the sites I look at have A&M as only 45.6% to 53% to cover the 3. There is no reason for this that I see. Can anyone tell me what Im missing? There are no injuries that I see (in fact A&M is getting back Tyler Davis tonight), no suspensions.
