This week nine matchup will see the Alabama Crimson Tide hosting the Arkansas Razorbacks. Both teams play in the SEC West division.
The Tide have won 11 meetings in a row with Arkansas. Last season the score was 65-31.
Arkansas Razorbacks
The Razorbacks are having a dreadful year and have yet to win a game in conference. They need four wins out of their last five games to even become bowl eligible, so at the moment, they do not have much to play for.
They were just crushed by Auburn 51-10 and now play a Bama team that is the number one team in the country.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
On the season, Arkansas is just not getting the production on offense that they need. They are below average in nearly every important offensive category. Their best area of offense is the passing game, as they average 250.4 yards per game, ranking 54th.
They are only scoring 24.7 points per game, which ranks 93rd. Against SEC opponents alone, their scoring average has dipped to 18.5 points per game. Now facing an excellent defense at Alabama, the Razorbacks may have trouble to even score 7 points.
The defense has been even worse for Arkansas and they also rank below average in pretty much every category. They are allowing 30.7 points per game across their entire schedule. Against just conference opponents, they allow an average of 34.3 points per game. Thus showing that their defense is slightly worse against better competition.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Tide got their seventh win in a row this season when they beat Tennessee last week. The score to this game was 35-13.
The bigger story was the injury to their star quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. He has been ruled out for this game against Arkansas, so the Tide will turn to Mac Jones to be their guy under center.

Mac Jones played a little bit of time in the game of Tennessee and did not look terrible. He went 6 of 11 for 72 yards, threw no touchdowns and no interceptions. In his Alabama career, he has now thrown for 350 yards, one touchdown an one interception.
With Jones at quarterback, the Tide may be looking to run the ball more. Their rush game however has not been as good, ranking 68th in the country. They are averaging 166.7 yards per game on the ground.
Of course they are also putting up points in bunches, averaging 48.7 points per game. Arkansas’ defense may be bad, but with Mac Jones at quarterback, the scoring is likely not going to be as much.
The defense will be the focus in this game as they are playing a very poor offensive team. They allow just 16.4 points per game, ranking 13th in the country.

Free Week 9 NCAA Football Pick
Even with a backup quarterback, Alabama is by far the better team and they will win this game easily.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: UNDER 55.5
I believe there is a good chance that Nick Saban and company are just going to want to get in an out of this game before heading into their bye week. They should run the ball and bleed the clock, which I think will shorten the game and keep this total under.
