It’s been just one game since [autotag]Arkansas football[/autotag] was favored to win a game, even though it feels like it’s been a lot longer. Following their historic overtime win in Gainesville last week, the Hogs are the favorite entering this week’s game against Auburn.
ESPN’s FPI prediction model gives the Razorbacks a 54.4% chance to beat the Auburn Tigers. Though, as it was alluded to earlier, they were last favored to beat Mississippi State and we all know what transpired there.
Even though this Arkansas team is listed as the favorites on Saturday, it’s virtually a toss-up. That’s comes with good reason since both teams have really struggled at times throughout the season.
Despite having five wins, Auburn (5-4, 2-4 SEC) has yet to win a single game against a FBS team with a winning record thus far. For Arkansas (3-6, 1-5 SEC), their issues this season have been very well-documented. Both teams are leaning on their defense to keep things close while their offenses continue to figure things out.
Saturday has all the makings for an entertaining contest as both program’s bowl season hopes hang the balance. Kickoff from Fayetteville is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. CT and will be televised on SEC Network.
