Ole Miss vs. Arkansas Prediction

I’m on Arkansas here. I get why Ole Miss could be favored on the road, but Arkansas has a lot more on the line here as they need a win for bowl eligibility and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Ole Miss perhaps had one eye looking ahead to Georgia next week. The Razorbacks have been playing really well as of late, and I think getting a score with them at home is a good place to be. Give me Arkansas and the points.
