I'm leaning the Hogs here as the Vol Run defense is one of the worst in the SEC, giving up over 167 yards a game (they allowed 259 on the ground against Arkansas in a loss last year). I think they'll obviously stack the box and I think they'll be leading at the half, but I'm just not sure they can manage to build a big enough lead necessary to prevent Arkansas from winning the game in the late stages, when the Hogs are pounding McFadden and Jones at a battered defensive unit. I like Arkansas in a mild upset on the road.
Personally I like the Vols. McFadden will probably have a big game but an average Arkansas team playing in Tennessee spells trouble. Not going to make a play however
Ark should take this one by reasons stated above. Also, home field advantage in Knoxville isn't what it has been in the past. LSU, South Carolina, Georgia, are a few of the teams that have come in and beat TN at home. Add arkansas to the list as the vols can't stop the hog's ground game with a not-so-physical D.
every natural impulse in my brain is saying tennessee but with this game being close to a pick i have to take the worse all- around team with the worst coach (debatable)in college football. arkansas will still probably win this one but i'm going to pass and take auburn to the house.
you have to wonder why this line opened at ark -1. begs the public to go with tennessee. nothings a guarantee but thisline seems fishy enough for me to play ark in this one. same goes for auburn- another funky line. i believe auburn's d will also be their o in this one. playing both roadies n a small parlay.
This game kinda reminds me of the Georgia/Tennessee game, where the Vols just rolled over the Dogs. I have a feeling that the Vols will do just about the same to the razorbacks, despite having a bad defense, and they are (just like the game against Georgia) playing at home.
Your thoughts on the hogs/vols game.
