The Alabama Crimson Tide will be traveling to Fayetteville this weekend for their second conference game of the season against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Alabama is off to a blazing 4-0 start and is currently ranked No. 2 in the country while the Razorbacks are 3-1 and ranked No. 20 in the country. The Tide are 17.5-point favorites for their first road conference game of the year.
Arkansas is coming off of a disappointing 23-21 loss to the Texas A&M Aggies, so expect them to bring their A-game on Saturday. Fortunately for Tide fans, they are currently on a 14-game winning streak that includes the entirety of Nick Saban’s tenure.
However, Arkansas will be no easy task as they almost pulled off the massive upset in Tuscaloosa last year. Alabama was able to recover an onside kick to survive a 42-35 scare. The Tide will need to control the line of scrimmage and let their receivers make plays if they want to avoid Arkansas’s upset bid.
Here are how the experts see things going down in Fayetteville this weekend.
