Arkansas Pine Bluff vs Arkansas prediction

Although these two teams compete in the same state, they are not of the same caliber. Arkansas Pine Bluff competes in the weak SWAC West.

Conversely, Arkansas competes in the always competitive SEC. Since there is such a big difference in the quality of these two programs, the two teams have only faced each other once in their history before this upcoming matchup.

Even with Arkansas rebuilding, they should not have much trouble defeating Arkansas Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff has 50 new players, a weak defense, and an RPO offense that is returning only one starter. Look for Arkansas to put this game away early so that they can rest their starters in the second half of the game.

The game favors Arkansas so heavily that sportsbooks aren't even offering a moneyline.
