Alabama is a bit down this season, but still has national championship hopes. One loss doesn't change that. Two losses would so the Crimson Tide certainly will be up for this game.

Alabama has dominated Arkansas winning the past seven times, including 52-0 each of the last two seasons. The Crimson Tide led Arkansas, 42-0, midway through the third quarter last year. There is a huge psychological edge because of that in Alabama's favor.

I don't see things having changed that drastically this season where the Tide won't win comfortably again. Alabama is vulnerable to spread offenses that play fast. That's not Arkansas' style.

Alabama has covered 11 of its past 13 games in October.
