Arkansas Razorbacks vs Vanderbilt Commodores
\nVanderbilt Stadium – Nashville, Tennessee
\nSaturday October 29 – 12:20 PMMoneyline: \u00a0Arkansas -370, Vanderbilt +310
\nSpread (ATS): Arkansas -10
\nOver\/Under: 52
\nOdds courtesy of 5DimesArkansas<\/p>\n

The Arkansas Razorbacks may be 6-1 but it is hard to tell their level right now. \u00a0Losing to Alabama was expected but they really struggled at Ole Miss last week and the Rebels are probably the worst team in the SEC this year. \u00a0Record wise they may be just a hair behind Bama and LSU but their is a real gap when they take the field.<\/p>\n

Against the Rebels QB Tyler Wilson was not very effective completing less than 50% of his passes. \u00a0The game might have gone a different way if backup running back Dennis Johnson hadn\u2019t rushed for 160 yards. \u00a0Ronnie Wingo might have more physical gifts but Johnson, who is only 5\u20199\u201d, is tough to bring down, a la Maurice Jones Drew.<\/p>\n

These teams met last year with Arkansas winning easily. \u00a0Vanderbilt has won only one of five previous meetings between the two teams. \u00a0On paper this should be a huge mismatch but last week on the road the Hogs played down to their competition and bettors lost as a result. \u00a0Vanderbilt is a better team than Ole Miss this year.<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt<\/p>\n

With 4 wins already it is looking like Vanderbilt might make it to a bowl game this season…if they win the games they are supposed. \u00a0Unfortunately for the Commodores, this is not one of them. \u00a0They had a very solid win against Army last week but it might be a couple of more weeks until they get win #5 at home against Kentucky. \u00a0This team is improved but still not really SEC good.<\/p>\n

If you are trying to figure out how a team like Vandy is 4-3 all you have to do is look at the defense. \u00a0They give up only 21 points per game which has masked some uncertainty on offense, specifically at the quarterback position. \u00a0Case in point for the D, Army completed only one pass last week. \u00a0I know it was only Army but still impressive in my books.<\/p>\n

This week Jordan Rodgers (Aaron\u2019s little brother) will be making his second start at QB and we need to see improvement. \u00a0Against Army he was ineffective and turned the ball over. \u00a0For the Commodores to have any chance on Saturday he needs to play a clean game. \u00a0If that happens and the defense is solid than they just might keep it close. \u00a0I expect the line to climb as game time approaches so keep your eye on it.<\/p>\n
