The Crimson Tide have been great this year, but this spread is too high against such a strong team. The Razorbacks have been great on both sides of the ball. They are not on Alabama’s level, but they're not as bad as this line suggests. The Razorbacks are a very good rushing team and will use that run game to control the pace of the game. The Tide will win, but Arkansas covers.

While I'm a big fan of what Sam Pittman has done at Arkansas in a short amount of time, I also remember what the Hogs looked like when they went against Georgia. I'm also aware of how their defense has been torn apart by good quarterbacks this season, and that Alabama has one of the best QBs in the country, as well as some excellent receivers. Finally, Nick Saban was pleased with his team last week, and this is a man who finds things to be mad about in 80-point wins. If he's happy, how good must this team look?
