Prediction
Tennessee is a two-touchdown in this game, but this looks to be too many points to lay on the road. Early in the season, the Volunteers were crushing every opponent they played. That said, their schedule over the first few weeks was weak. They then went to Oklahoma and got an impressive win, but only won the game by 10 points.
As for Arkansas, both of their losses were by less than 14 points and they nearly pulled off an upset last week against Texas A&M. The Razorbacks are at home now and should be able to use their balanced offense and solid defense to give themselves a chance to keep this close. Therefore, our best bet for this game will be for the Razorbacks to cover, but we will take them at +14.5 on the alternate spread in the event Arkansas loses by exactly two touchdowns.
Final Pick
Arkansas Razorbacks +14.5 Alternate Spread (-137)
