Honestly, do you really think that the hogs have any shot at an upset this week?
I certainly don't.
But I should take into account that last year I thought the tide would dominate when it ended up being a very close game decided by a late 4th quarter interception thrown by Ryan Mallet.
So even though Bama is an 11 point favorite, I can't take anything for granted.
So let's get to it:
This match up has match ups inside of it and won of the big ones will be The Arkansas Offense(One of the Nation's best) vs. Alabama's Defense(Arguably the best in the country)
In this game and in most games, the edge has to be given to the defense.
Alabama's defense has been flawless through three weeks of the season especially the stat of allowing opponents RB's to only an average of 2 yards per carry. Guess what? You can't pass against them either as they allow only a 38.5 completion percentage of the opponents they have faced in the first three games.
So how do the Razorbacks plan on scoring against this dominant D?
Well they most likely can't but they most certainly can try.
Arkansas running back Ronnie Wingo Jr. will not have much room which will allow the tide defense to focus on QB Tyler Wilson and see if he can beat them with his arm.
This can happen but the only way is to score 40-50 points and that won't happen against Bama.\
The hogs may have a slight chance but The Tide will eventually roll to a 24-17 victory
