After losing to Texas and then struggling to beat South Florida, many put a fork into the Alabama Crimson Tide. But Bama has proven since the tough win over South Florida that they remain one of the SEC’s top programs. On Saturday, the Tide hope to put any doubts to rest when they host the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Will Bama cover what has become a massive spread? Or will K.J. Jefferson and the Hogs keep the game close?

Why Bet on Arkansas versus Alabama
Arkansas is on a 4-match losing streak, but the losses were closer than the spread in this game. The most lopsided loss among the 4 was by 12 points against the Texas A&M Aggies.
The Hogs lost by just 7 to BYU Ole Miss and by 3 in a game against LSU in Baton Rouge. The Razorbacks fell to Ole Miss by 7 points on the road.
So although the Razorbacks will find it difficult to win this game straight up, they’ve already proven that they can hang with quality teams and win against the spread.

Why Bet on Alabama Versus Arkansas
After the closer than it should have been victory over the the South Florida Bulls, Nick Saban tore into his squad. The result?
Alabama has gone 3-0 SU and ATS in their last 3 games. The Crimson Tide beat Ole Miss 24-10, Mississippi State 40-17, and Texas A&M 26-20. The win over the Aggies is huge because it happened on the road.
Saban won’t allow his team to let up. We should expect an old school Alabama squad on Saturday, one that shuts down Arkansas’ offense and moves the ball at will.

Alabama versus Arkansas Final Betting Prediction
Nick Saban got angry and so did his team. The Alabama Crimson Tide have flourished since Saban’s behind closed doors rallying speech.
No player on Alabama’s side has taken Saban’s directive of squashing opponents to heart as much as quarterback Jalen Milroe. Texas made Milroe look like a mediocre signal-caller.
Saban’s master stroke of benching Jalen in the South Florida game lit a fire under the QB. Since Milroe returned to the starting lineup, has played great, completing 81% of his passes against Ole Miss, 83.3% against Mississippi State, and throwing for 321 yards and 3 TDs against Texas A&M.
Bama’s D has also stepped it up. For sure, Arkansas is a solid team. Don’t let their record fool you, the Hogs can ball. However, Alabama is on a different level right now. The Crimson Tide roll to a fourth straight win and cover.
