7. Arkansas Razorbacks (12/1)
Woo, are the Pigs a popular dark horse pick this year. ‘Vegas lost money when Arkansas beat Ole Miss and L.S.U last November, but national media covering the sport are expecting bettors to make it back with the Hogs in ’15.
However, the national media hype machine has its victims, and Arkansas could be one of them. Hogs fans are probably hoping that Beliema will be keeping Athlon’s and Lindy’s away from Arkansas players over the summer.
The good news for Arkansas is that they return QB Brandon Allen and RB Jonathan Williams to the backfield, as well as a host of receivers than Allen can wing it too. Additionally, the Razorbacks won’t come onto the field without a protection service. Four starters return at the offensive line, all which are upperclassmen.
The Hogs return seven defenders to the SEC’s most improved unit that was ranked in the nation’s top fifteen.
Roll the dice: It took three years to build it, but the Hogs are hungry and dangerous. The western division will be a minefield, but this is a team that could run the gauntlet.
