Where to watch Texas A&M vs Arkansas today: Time, TV channel to watch Week 8 game

College Football Playoff remains unclear and chaotic midseason
With a very unclear CFP field midway through the 2025 season, Before The Snap argues why this might be the best playoff race yet.
Texas A&M has been one of the best teams in college football about halfway through the 2025 regular season, with a 6-0 record and a No. 4 ranking in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
This weekend, it will look to further enhance that resume.

Coming off a 17-point home win against Florida last Saturday, Mike Elko and the Aggies will hit the road to take on Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 18 at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Texas A&M’s 6-0 start matches the program’s best record through six games since 2016 and is highlighted by a Week 3 win at Notre Dame. The Aggies have scored at least 30 points in five of their six games this season, with quarterback Marcel Reed accounting for 1,676 total yards and 15 touchdowns. Defensively, they’ve been stout in recent weeks, allowing only 12 points per game in their past three victories.
This week, they’ll get a different kind of challenge in an Arkansas team that put up a strong fight in a 34-31 loss last Saturday at No. 11 Tennessee, its first game under interim head coach (and, famously, former Razorbacks head coach) Bobby Petrino. For all of his team’s larger struggles, Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has been electric this season, with 2,158 total yards and 17 touchdowns.
Here’s how to watch Texas A&M’s game against Arkansas, including time, TV schedule, live streaming info and game odds:

Texas A&M vs Arkansas predictions, picks, odds
Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Wednesday, Oct. 15:
- Spread: Texas A&M (-7.5)
- Over/under: 61.5
- Moneyline: Texas A&M -300 ∣ Arkansas +240
Prediction: Texas A&M 41, Arkansas 27
For all of Petrino’s numerous faults, the man’s still a heck of a play-caller. But the Razorbacks’ defense is simply too porous to do much of anything to neutralize Reed and a much more balanced Texas A&M team. The Aggies shouldn’t have too much trouble in this one, even on the road.

Texas A&M vs. Arkansas score prediction by expert football model

SEC football returns this weekend as No. 4 Texas A&M goes on the road to protect its perfect record against Arkansas in college football’s Week 8 action on Saturday. Here is the latest prediction for the game from an expert model that projects scores.
Texas A&M improved to 6-0 overall and is perfect through three games in SEC play, not allowing more than 17 points in any of its conference games and riding a stout defense that looked solid in a big win over Florida.
Arkansas may be 0-2 in SEC play and below .500 overall at 2-4 and undergoing a midseason coaching change, but is still playing some of the best statistical offense in the country, ranking top 20 in scoring, passing, and rushing, and No. 6 in total output.
What do the analytics suggest for when the Razorbacks welcome the Aggies this weekend?
For that, let’s turn to the SP+ prediction model to get a preview of how Texas A&M and Arkansas compare in this Week 8 college football game.
Predictably, the model is siding with the Aggies over the Hogs in this SEC clash.
SP+ predicts that Texas A&M will defeat Arkansas by a projected score of 34 to 25 and will win the game by an expected margin of 9.0 points in the process.
The model expects that the Aggies have a 71 percent chance of outright victory.
SP+ is a “tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency” that attempts to predict game outcomes by measuring “the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football.”
How good is it this season? So far, the SP+ college football prediction model is 175-177 against the spread with a 49.7 win percentage. Last week, it was 31-25 (55.4%) in its picks against the spread.
The betting markets are siding with the Aggies by more than a touchdown over the Razorbacks.
Texas A&M is a 7.5 point favorite against Arkansas, according to the updated game lines posted to FanDuel Sportsbook entering the weekend.
FanDuel lists the total at 61.5 points for the matchup.
And it set the moneyline odds for Texas A&M at -310 and for Arkansas at +250 to win outright.
The game’s implied score suggests that the Aggies will prevail against the Hogs, but by another close margin.
When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Texas A&M will defeat Arkansas by a projected score of 35 to 27.
Texas A&M’s defense is allowing just 12 points per game in SEC competition, but will be tested against a Razorbacks ground attack good for over 218 yards per game and more than 6 yards per carry from its backs.
But the Aggies have a potent downfield game led by quarterback Marcel Reed and should find plenty of room against an Arkansas secondary that ranks 116th this season allowing over 251 yards to opponents on average.
