Arkansas-7
Under 47.5
Being a Big10 guys, I stay away from the Big10 games, but I think the Golphers are way overmatched in this one. Minny is not as good a team as their record indicates, and was on a big slid going into the Bowl season. I don't think they even deserve to go to a bowl game. They started season 6-1 with a very weak schedule, and ended the season on an 0-4 run, giving up 300+ ypg in rushing
, and the last 5 bowl teams that they faced, they had lost by an avg of 20+ pts. Ark, before they got pasted by Ga in SEC Champ game, had won 6 in a row. They were never in the game as it got out of hand early with a couple of huge breaks going Ga's way. They rank #11 in NCAA in rushing at 230 ypg, and Minny rush D is #93 allowing 185 ypg. Abdul Tariq is a mobile QB with a decent arm, but without a running game, he's not the kind of QB who could carry a team on his shoulder. Arkansas is way too sound defensively and offensively on the ground and should really win this one going away.
GOOD LUCK!!
