Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Auburn Tigers Prediction

I’m on Arkansas here. I know it’s a road spot for the Hogs, but I think this is a spot where the road environment is giving us a discount on Arkansas, who for my money are the better team and clearly better coached team in this game. The Tigers just don’t have the same punch and intimidation factor with Pearl Jr. leading the way, and I think Arkansas takes advantage with a road win here. Give me the Razorbacks.
