Alabama vs. Arkansas Prediction
In a showdown of two top 10 teams, can No. 1 Alabama and No. 10 Arkansas combine to hit over 55.5 points? Read on to check out our prediction for this game.
Before we hand out our prediction for this big showdown in Fayetteville, let’s take a look at the odds.
Alabama is a 7-point favorite on the road according to oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com. The over/under has been set at 55.5.
This is a tough prediction to make. The easy thought would be that Arkansas is all offense and Alabama will be able to slow that down while scoring at will, but the Razorbacks are giving up just 255 yards of offense per-game. We think both teams will struggle to move the ball more than they are accustomed to, but the Razorbacks should have trouble with the Alabama rushing attack. Arkansas is giving up over 100 yards per-game on the ground while the Tide is posting 250 rushing yards per-game.
The Prediction:
We think this game will be about ball control for Alabama, which favors the under hitting.
Some trends that went into our prediction: The under has hit in two of three games for Alabama this season and in 11 of their last 17 conference games.
