Why Auburn can cover
Auburn was dealt one of the most interesting schedules of any team in college football this season, as it opens the campaign with a five-game homestand before going on the road for three straight games. The Tigers are getting set for the fourth game of that homestand following a 45-19 win over New Mexico. Redshirt freshman quarterback Hank Brown completed 17 of 25 passes for 235 yards and four touchdowns in that game.
Senior running back Jarquez Hunter rushed 20 times for 152 yards and one touchdown, averaging 7.6 yards per carry. Hunter has 273 rushing yards and two touchdowns in three games as a pivotal piece of Auburn's offense. The Tigers have covered the spread in eight of their last 12 home games, and they have covered in six of their last eight games against Arkansas. See which team to pick here.
Why Arkansas can cover
While Auburn cruised to a comfortable win over New Mexico last week, it struggled in its lone meeting with a power-conference opponent this season. The Tigers were 12-point home favorites against Cal two weeks ago, but they allowed 332 total yards while finishing with less than 300 of their own. Arkansas has notched double-digit victories over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and UAB while falling to then-No. 16 Oklahoma State in overtime.
The Razorbacks were 10-point underdogs in the loss to the Cowboys, but they held a 21-7 lead at halftime and pushed the hosts throughout the contest. Arkansas junior quarterback Taylen Green has thrown for 806 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 245 yards and four scores. The Razorbacks have covered the spread in five consecutive road games dating back to last season. See which team to pick here.
