Pick
I’m taking Arkansas here. Tennessee is a solid team, especially at home, but we’re starting to see with Arkansas, what possible could’ve been if this team was healthy all year long since the return of Nick Smith Jr. to the lineup. Tennessee gets a lot of recognition defensively, and rightfully so, but the Hogs are solid in their own right and I think this is going to be a tighter game than some may think. Give me Arkansas and the points here.
