If there was ever a revenge game, this qualifies. Alabama won in Tuscaloosa by a whopping 31 points. That's almost enough for a bet, regardless. Arkansas has only lost one game at home this season, to Missouri, back on January 2nd. They've won seven of eight and some of those were impressive wins. Alabama has the W/L record, but lately they haven't played great teams and have lost two of their last three road games, only winning at SC by three. In fact, they've played the 10th toughest SEC schedule and Arkansas the 4th hardest. Alabama relies heavily on three's, which on the road can be something that boxes them into a corner if they're off at all. Arkansas will be able to run with Alabama, and has the length to compete. The Hogs are a superior FT shooting team and spend more time at the line. In that last game, Arkansas shot just 21/63 from the floor with only 8 assists - they couldn't have played worse. And, I do think that playing at the pace Alabama does can take a toll this time of the year, so I am betting that Arkansas doesn't lose their second home game tonight.
Anyone in early, I bet Wake Forest this afternoon, but not big by any means.
