#12 Ole Miss (-7.5) over #22 Arkansas, Saturday 6:00 PM (CT), Razorback Stadium

I gave Arkansas a little too much credit last week. I thought the Hogs could do enough to keep the game close. Unfortunately, I failed to realize just how bad the Razorbacks have been on defense this season. Arkansas has given up a ton of points to every decent team they have played this season. I don’t see that changing with Chad Kelly and Co. coming to town,

The bright side for Arkansas is that the offense under Austin Allen has been able to put up a lot of points and should be able to find some success against the Ole Miss secondary. However, much like Alabama, the Rebels have a defensive line that can pressure the quarterback. I believe that will be the difference in this one. I expect Ole Miss to force a few costly turnovers in what’s sure to be a high scoring game. Ole Miss 52, Arkansas 42
