Defensively, Arkansas ranks No. 72 at 27 points per game, and is surrendering 368 yards per game with four interceptions, four fumble recoveries and 20 sacks.
They’re going to need to bring there a-game if they want to beat a No. 1 ranked Alabama team that are undefeated so far this season, and appear poised to post a three-peat, winning another National Championship in 2014.
The Alabama offense is almost flawless, averaging nearly 40 points and 450 yards per game, while turning the ball over just six times.
Quarterback A.J. McCarron has been perfect, completing 69 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns to just three interceptions.
The ground attack is also just as impressive, with T.J. Yeldon averaging 6.5 yards per carry with six touchdowns and Kenyan Drake is averaging 7.3 yards per carry with five touchdowns.
Defensively, Alabama is downright stingy, allowing just a meager 11 points and 278 yards per game with four interceptions, three fumble recoveries and 10 sacks.
Matt’s Free Prediction
Alabama just keeps getting better week after week and the Razorbacks are going in reverse, getting worse as the season progresses.
This one is a no brainer and bettors can expect Alabama to roll here as the Hogs look dismal and just have no answers right now.
That just leaves one question — whether or not Bama’ can cover a four-touchdown spread here.
The answer is — certainly.
Alabama 48, Arkansas 14
