Pick
Arkansas comes into this game after one of the worst performances I have seen from a SEC team in their last game. The Razorbacks only scored three points at home against a bad Mississippi State team in a 7-3 loss and have now lost six games in a row. Florida started the game against Georgia strong, but they fell apart after the first quarter. Florida is the much better offensive team in this matchup, as Arkansas is only averaging 305 yards per game. The Razorbacks have been pretty inconsistent, as they have played Alabama, Ole Miss, and LSU close. Arkansas seems to play better on the road and I think Florida may start slow after the emotional game last week. Take Arkansas with the points.
David’s Pick Arkansas +4.5
