ALABAMA +1 - Arkansas is off to an impressive 3-0 start while beating Texas along the way, while Alabama is coming off of a shocking home loss to Northern Illinois. However, I feel that all that has done is give us some excellent value on Alabama here at home. The Crimson Tide is 4-2 ATS as a home underdog since 1999, including a covering effort vs. #1 Oklahoma in this role earlier this season. Alabama has also won this matchup handily each of the last 2 years, by scores of 31-10 and 30-12 respectively, and they may now be catching an overconfident Razorbacks club. That win at Texas notwithstanding, Arkansas has been a terrible road favorite in recent years, going only 3-9 ATS and 6-6 S/U in this role since 1999. Alabama represents a step up in class from the North Texas team the Hogs blasted last week, and Arkansas may be exposed here if they struggle on the ground, a distinct possibility vs. a Bama defense that is allowing only 67.2 rushing yards per game on 2.4 yards per carry.

This should be a great game and a very close one. I see it ending by a fieldgoal. But not sure who will win by that fieldgoal. :shrug:
EM sure hope your right about this one, Hogs had off week to get ready,(as does 4 other Bama opponents this year) but Bama Nation hates Nutt, and has played them very well in recent years. Good luck today. Buck
