The University of Tennessee Volunteers football team (6-3, 3-2 SEC) carries its destiny in its own hands. Win out and play in the SEC Championship Game. The problem in doing that is it must get past the surging University of Arkansas (6-3, 2-3 SEC) with its prolific offense led by Heisman trophy candidate Darren McFadden who last week tied the SEC rushing record of 321 yards in a game against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Last week, Arkansas’ duo of McFadden and backfield mate Felix Jones combined for nearly 200 first-quarter rushing yards. Arkansas finished with 541 yards rushing, the highest total for an SEC team against a conference opponent.
This game is expected to be close with the Vols laying a single point (-1.0) with a 64.5 total, according to oddsmakers at online sportsbook BetOnline.com . The Vols are a slight -115 money line favorite with -105 on Arkansas.
