Arkansas Razorbacks vs UAB Blazers Point Spread Picks

UAB steps up to face the SEC! They were an 11-point favorite last week against Louisiana-Monroe but got torched, 32-6. The offense turned it over three times while UL Monroe ran for 209 yards. Last year, UAB faced Georgia of the SEC and lost 49-21 giving up 582 yards. Arkansas was a double-digit underdog last week to No. 16 Oklahoma State but almost pulled off the upset, losing 39-31 in two overtimes. New offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino has jumpstarted the offense scoring 101 points in two games. A year ago, Arkansas had two September non-conference tilts and blasted Western Carolina (56-13) and Kent State (28-6). Play Arkansas to cover the big number. 

Arkansas is likely to be in an ornery mood for this game as they have dropped three straight games. After losing to Texas A&M in overtime, the Razorbacks gave Alabama everything they could handle in a narrow 1-point loss. They followed with a 13-point loss to Georgia, and right now this team is going to be hungry for a win. Arkansas is 3-4 on the season, and needs this one to maintain their Bowl aspirations. UAB likes to speed up the game, but they will be facing an SEC team with much greater depth than most on their schedule, and with a lot more team speed. The Blazers have a rough 1-6 ATS mark in their last seven on the road, while Arkansas comes in with a gaudy 12-3 ATS mark when playing at home vs. a team with a winning road record. The Razorbacks will come to play and will get back in the win column big here. Lay the bundle and play on Arkansas.
