Michigan vs. Arkansas Prediction

I’m with Michigan here. I just think that Michigan’s experience is going to pay dividends here. I haven’t been all that impressed with Arkansas in non-home games and think that this Arkansas team still has some growing to do. Michigan’s played really well up to this point and on a neutral floor, I have to give them the nod.
