Alabama Crimson Tide vs Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction
The Razorbacks' offense is strong. In the matchup against Alabama last year, KJ Jefferson passed for over 300 yards. The Hogs' outstanding running game will also shine. One of the top RBs in the FBS is Raheim Sanders. He has already rushed for 508 yards.
Additionally, Alabama will run the ball a lot, and Arkansas's rush defense is stifling opponents, allowing just 100 running yards per game, which ranks 29th in the FBS. Last year, Arkansas only lost to Alabama by a score, and this year, they are better prepared than they were then to face their conference rivals.
Arkansas +17.5 (-115)
