Ole Miss
The Rebs are in the middle of the hellish stretch of their schedule, where they face #8 Alabama, #23 Arkansas and #4 Auburn in consecutive weeks. Ole Miss travelled to Tuscaloosa, AL last week and they make the trek to Fayetteville this Saturday.
Given all that’s happened, Ole Miss didn’t get stomped as decisively by Alabama as some may have predicted. The Rebels lost 23-10 and can probably take some positives that they held the Tide to “only” 23 points. That’s where the good news should end, as Razorbacks’ QB Ryan Mallett will probably play this week after responding well following a concussion sustained last week against Auburn.
Even Arkansas’ back-up, Tyler Wilson, isn’t a plug – hence the Rebs’ defense has to show up like they did last week for Ole Miss to have a shot. 
Arkansas
“Pig Sooey” was scoring with Auburn last week in an absolute barn-burner, until Mallett went down with injury in the second half. Then Auburn wunderkind Cam Newton widened the margin, and the Tigers steamrolled to a 65-43 victory. The Razorbacks’ D simply didn’t have an answer for its opposition.
It’s true, Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli is no Newton (at least in 2010) but Arkansas still sorely needs to atone for the horrific defensive performance. Everyone knows Arkansas can score under Mallett’s direction, but it can’t be a real competitor in the SEC or elsewhere until the defense performs week-to-week. The unit will surely aim to come out with whiz-and-vinegar in front of its rabid hometown fans; Ole Miss is the type of conference team Arkansas must defeat if it wants to be taken seriously.
If Mallett doesn’t show any ill effects and the defense shows it has at least some competence to it, that’s the probable outcome.
The Pick: In a backhanded compliment kind of way, Ole Miss impressed last week. Many (me included) expected disgruntled Alabama to steamroll last Saturday; Arkansas and its fans likely possess the same vitriol after the Auburn debacle. Can Ole Miss play (reasonably) watertight two weeks in a row? The fact is, Mallett is a helluva QB – if he’s playing to form, that’s a lot to ask out of the Rebs.
