SEC College Football Picks Arkansas Razorbacks at Florida Gators

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/003/372/439/hi-res-182263707-austin-hardin-of-the-florida-gators-is-congratulated-by_crop_650x440.jpg?1380425282

One of the big games in the SEC on Saturday night will see the Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Florida Gators. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Currently the odds for the game have Florida as a big favorite to win.

SEC football continues tonight when the Arkansas Razorbacks head to the Swamp to take on the Florida Gators. Arkansas nearly pulled off an upset last week against Texas A&M at home. They were impressive on offense in that game, but what type of effort will they bring to a night game in Gainesville?

They're still a work in progress this season, but we do expect Bret Bielema to turn the Hogs around and make them a contender in the brief future. But for now they still remain a team full of uncertainty.

One of the hidden causes of last week's offensive output for Arkansas is the terrible Texas A&M defense. The Aggies rank just 114th nationally in total defense, which allowed the Razorbacks to play well.

Florida's defense is a completely different animal than A&Ms. The Gators rank first against the run, sixth against the pass, eighth in total defense, second in scoring defense and sixth overall in pass efficiency defense. They'll be the deciding factor in this game for sure. If the Gator defense plays up to their potential, the Razorbacks are going to have an extremely tough time doing anything.

Hogs QB Brandon Allen is a very good signal-caller, collecting 8.4 yards per attempt the last two games. He's going to have to keep the Razorbacks afloat in this game, along with his offensive line. But if Arkansas can't run the ball (which they won't be able to do) it's going to be a long day for Allen. No matter how talented he can be, playing from behind when you're one dimensional against arguably the best defense in America is not a good recipe.

Gator QB Tyler Murphy showed us poise and talent last week, throwing just three incompletions against Kentucky. He's not amazing, but he'll do for now for the Gators.

Free Pick: Florida 27, Arkansas 13
