10* Game of the Week
(NCAAF) Georgia vs. Arkansas,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -107.00 Arkansas (Home)
Result: Loss
Arkansas is a desperate team here looking for a win in the SEC for the first time in 16 games. They keep inching closer and closer and really out played Alabama at home last week, but an extra point miss kept them from winning this game or forcing OT. Georgia have been winners of 4 in a row, but how long can they stay strong without Gurley? Arkansas has a very efficient ground game themselves, with Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams. The team overall, has been a monster on the field, pounding it for 279/game. They are coming off 2 very tough losses, where they had their chances in both games.
Arkansas arguably the best balanced offense that Georgia has faced all year. Yes, Arkansas will run the ball 62% of the time and try to shorten the game, but Brandon Allen is healthy and has 10 TD and just 2 interceptions and they utilize their TE's who very hard to guard very well. Georgia isn't as good as their record indicates and Arkansas continues to be under rated. I think this is the perfect spot for Arkansas to pull off the upset over Georgia this week. Missouri really played an awful game last week which may have given the Bulldogs a bit of a false sense of security.
