The Arkansas Razorbacks meet the Georgia Southern Eagles in week 3 college football action from Razorback Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Georgia Southern Eagles will try to rebound from a 38-6 loss at the hands of FAU last time out. Cam Ransom has thrown for 188 yards and a touchdown on 58.8% passing while Logan Wright leads Georgia Southern’s rushing group with 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Amare Jones has 119 rushing yards while Gerald Green leads the Eagles in receiving with 71 receiving yards. On defense, Justin Birdsong leads the Eagles with 13 total tackles including a team-high 9 solo tackles, the same number as Darrell Baker Jr. while C.J. Wright has a team-high 2.5 sacks this season.

The Arkansas Razorbacks will be out to build on their huge 40-21 win over Texas in their last game. KJ Jefferson has thrown for 266 yards, a touchdown and two INTs on 65% passing while also rushing for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Trelon Smith has 177 rushing yards with a pair of scores while Tyson Morris has a team-high 87 receiving yards and Treylon Burks leads Arkansas with 10 catches this season. On defense, Bumper Pool leads Arkansas with 24 total tackles while Jalen Catalon has a pair of interceptions this season.

Georgia Southern is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games against the SEC and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games while the under is 7-2 in their last 9 non-conference games. Arkansas is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.

I know Arkansas has had its ups and downs this season, but the win over Texas was massive for this team and their confidence and I just don’t know if the Eagles will have enough in the tank, speedwise or whatnot. I think this is a game that the Eagles will just have issues with and in the end, I liks the Hogs to bag us a win and cover at home here.
