Auburn vs Arkansas Prediction
In their previous meeting last season, Arkansas won 24-14 on the road, but Auburn is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings, having won its last four visits in Arkansas. Over is 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Auburn vs Arkansas Prediction, Arkansas is coming as -1-point home favorites, with the total set at 57 points. Both teams are coming into this matchup in terrible form, having lost their last 5 and 4 games respectively, so i would rather not pick a side. Auburn has a top-24 defense this season, and is 6-0 to the under in their last 6 games. Both teams combined for just 38 points last season, so I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 57 points in this one.
