Samford Bulldogs vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction

I’m on Arkansas here. I just think Arkansas is the more talented team in this matchup and this isn’t the same Samford team that ran Bucky Ball last season. The Hogs have too much length, talent and firepower for Samford to contend with here and I think Arkansas runs hogwild on Samford in this one at home. Give me Arkansas.
