For the first time against an SEC opponent this season, Arkansas enters the game as a clear favorite. Whether that’s via ESPN’s Football Power Index, Las Vegas, or generic fandom’s eye-test, the Hogs are supposed to – whatever that means – beat Missouri on Friday afternoon.
Arkansas will seek to snap a five-game losing streak to Missouri in the Battle Line Rivalry at 2:30 p.m. inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
An Arkansas win would not stop the skid, but also give the team eight regular-season wins for the first time since 2011. A Mizzou win would provide the Tigers with their first winning season since 2019.
Missouri is especially prone defensively against the run. That bodes well for an Arkansas team that is second in the SEC and 13th in FBS in rushing.
