Arkansas has dominated at home in this series historically. It’s dominated the last seven games, and the Bulldogs haven’t won a road game yet this season.
I’m sure the Bulldogs will secure that road win at some point, but it won’t be here against Arkansas. I’m backing the Hogs as high as a 6-point favorite.
