Vanderbilt vs Arkansas Prediction

I’m on Vanderbilt here. I haven’t really been sold on Arkansas for much of anything this season, and I think this Arkansas team shot themselves in the foot with that loss to South Carolina. Granted, at a certain point you have to wonder if the desperation will kick in for Arkansas. But I think Vanderbilt’s the more talented team in this game and I think the Commodores get themselves the win and cover at home in this game. Give me Vanderbilt in this one.
