Alabama at Arkansas

This is a rivalry tilt for these two squads. Bama will be one of the top teams in the SEC this season, and the Hogs look to climb back into the top tier of the league, after struggling since the departure of Nolan Richardson. Arkansas enters only 8-21 ATS versus excellent teams (shooting >45% with a defense of <42%) over the last 3 seasons. Arkansas is 1-5 ATS as a home favorite of 6 points or less or pick over the last 3 seasons. Tthis is a tough road spot for Bama but I think they'll keep it close here and have a very good chance at the road win. Two stars on the Tide.
