Arkansas vs South Carolina SEC Football Prediction
A game being played in Fayetteville, it’s simply hard to pick against Arkansas here. Coming off an exciting win at home, the Razorbacks should win by at-least a touchdown, if not more, but don’t necessarily count out the Gamecocks in an upset either, especially if they get a big game from Rattler. Prediction: Arkansas 28, South Carolina 17
