Arkansas is an entertaining and explosive team that is trending upward for sure. The Razorbacks held their composure and made enough plays last week to seal a 31-24 win over Cincinnati. Even so, the defense showed some holes and allowed the Bearcats to rack up 438 total yards on their way to a 24-point second half. Oklahoma transfer Spencer Rattler and the Gamecocks had a relatively pedestrian effort in their opener against stubborn Georgia State. But that could partly be attributed to a look-ahead spot for Saturday. Look for a one-score game that should feature some dynamic offensive play.

Arkansas should be closer to an 11-point favorite, especially after South Carolina was on the ropes in the third quarter at home against Georgia State. The Gamecocks went on a 23-0 run aided by two blocked punts for touchdowns. New QB Spencer Rattler wasn’t all that impressive, throwing just one TD pass and two interceptions. South Carolina was outgained 200-79 on the ground. Arkansas has covered its last four games, beginning with a tough 42-35 loss at Alabama last season. Take the Razorbacks to cover.
