Randy’s Free Pick
The Arkansas Razorbacks don’t cover numbers on the road, but this is a good team that’s in every game and loses as an underdog by an average of 1.3 points. This will be the biggest underdog Arkansas has been this season and while Alabama is great, I just can’t leave this many free buckets on the table. Give me the Razorbacks.
