SEC Football: Week Six Predictions

Alabama over Arkansas (+14), Saturday 6:00 PM (CT), Razorback Stadium

A good Arkansas team is getting 14 points at home? This seems disrespectful to a Razorbacks’ team whose only loss is to a great A&M team. Plus, the A&M game was a lot closer than the score indicated. I should also add that I’m not at all sold on Alabama this season, especially with the way they look on offense. Taking the points here seems like easy money.

Ultimately, I believe this will be a low scoring game with neither offense being able to do much. Bama’s offense, despite the talent at receiver, is handicapped by QB Jalen Hurts’ inability to throw the ball downfield. Luckily for the Crimson Tide, the defense has been dominant enough to make up for the inefficiencies of the offense. I think that will likely continue here as the Bama D will be able to make just enough plays to drag the offense along to a victory. Alabama 28, Arkansas 20
