Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Arkansas Razorbacks; Betting Line, Alabama by -9; Television, Raycom/Yahoo; Kickoff 12:30 p.m. ET; Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, Ark: Betting odds provided by online sportsbook BetUS.com.
No. 9 Alabama heads to Arkansas for its annual slobber-knocker with the Razorbacks, opening each teams SEC season. Alabama is -9 point road favorites in this one with a 46 ½ total. For some reason oddsmakers are wary of this game and you should be too.
The Hogs offense has shown plenty of explosiveness while its defense and special teams have been terrible. With an unscheduled bye-week following Week-3’s Texas game postponement, Bobby Petrino and his staff have had extra time to fix a few problems. If Petrino can get his system cranking, they have the ability and talent to disrupt anybody’s season. That’s just what Alabama coach Nick Saban hopes to avoid.
While Arkansas has gone virtually unnoticed in the early going of the 2008 season, Alabama has been front and center while pushing all the right buttons. The Tide opened its season on a national stage romping all over favored (-4) Clemson 34-10. The Tide followed with a 20-6 home win over Tulane and 41-7 victory over the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky. The Tide, now 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS face their first road test at Arkansas where the going has often been difficult.
The Tide should prevail but if they come out sloppy early and allow Arkansas to hang around, trouble could ensue. The past few years these games have been close. This year the Hogs aren’t ready. Tide win and cover -9.
