The current betting odds have Alabama listed as a PK in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has been having a great season with a 13-2 record this year and both of their losses came against top 10 teams in the country. They have been perfect in their 3 road games and their 3 conference games while Arkansas has been perfect in their 9 home games this season. Arkansas enters this game with a good 12-3 record overall but 2 of their 3 losses were very recent as they lost to 2 conference opponents, and one of them wasn't even a ranked team either. Alabama has been a much better team this season with a tougher schedule than Arkansas and they have still been crushing teams all season. Alabama has turned it up a notch since their last loss and have been on a roll now since hitting conference play. The best way to place a bet here is on Alabama to cover the spread in this game.

“They’ve got plenty of talent in there to compete with everybody.” - Nate Oats on his team’s upcoming game against Arkansas here.

 

 

"Obviously, it's really frustrating. We can't miss that many foul shots. Then the thing that is most amazing is Anthony Black went 13 of 16 from the foul line, so if you look at the rest of the team. ... But the only thing I know is you have gotta get in the gym on your own.” - Eric Musselman after his team’s loss against Auburn in their last game.
