Texas at Arkansas odds: Early point spread released, How to Watch
The stage is set for an exciting SEC clash in Week 12, with the Texas Longhorns traveling to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Ahead of the showdown, FanDuel Sportsbook has released the early point spread for the showdown, and Texas is favored by 16.5 points at the moment. Additionally, the over/under has been set at 55.5 points for the conference battle.
This may be a new rivalry to the SEC, but Texas and Arkansas have a lengthly history of being former conference rivals. Their first clash dates back to 1903, and the two teams have played each other a whopping 79 times over the course of college football’s illustrious history.
Texas won their first 13 matchups, but the Razorbacks finally broke the streak in 1933. The Longhorns may have the advantage, with their record of 56-23 against Arkansas, but the Razorbacks have won the last two meetings of the programs, and they’ll be hoping to make it three in a row this coming weekend.
Texas has designs on making it to the College Football Playoff, but Arkasas has a high ceiling they’re also trying to reach at the moment. If Sam Pittman and company can send Texas packing with a loss, it’d be one of the biggest wins of the season for any team, and a monumental moment. Time will tell if they can get the job done.

We’ll see if they can get the job done against one of the best teams in the nation in Week 12.

Texas bee swarm hospitalizes 3; Arkansas doctors explain warning signs of severe reactions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.
