We head to Fayetteville for an SEC matchup between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Arkansas Razorbacks. Both teams could really use a win as they sit at 2-3 on the season and need to find a few more wins to claw over .500 before the season ends. Vegas expects this game to stay very competitive with Tennessee sitting as a 1-point favorite in the college football betting markets, despite being on the road.

The Vols have lost three straight games by double digits. Playing Georgia and Alabama will result in scores like that, but a 34-7 home loss to Kentucky is one that certainly exposed some of the problems this team is facing. They are really struggling with avoiding turnovers and just haven’t put up enough points for them to hang in these games. They may struggle against this Arkansas secondary which so far this season looks strong as they give up just 6.1 yards per attempt which is tops in the SEC. However, the ground game could be where Tennessee has the advantage with both Ty Chandler and Eric Gray primed to do damage against a weak Arkansas front. The Razorbacks are giving up 178 yards per game on the ground and that is the clear way to attack this defense if you are Tennessee.

On the other side, Arkansas has shown some promise this season, and sitting 2-3 actually shows signs of progress. Getting some stability under center in Florida transfer Felipe Franks has really steadied this offense and he should have opportunities against a UT secondary that has been exposed in several matchups this season. It really is contrasting styles with these teams, as Arkansas should throw against Tennessee’s secondary, but could be limited in the running game while Tennessee has the opposite situation on their hands.
Winning games that are viewed as basically toss-ups go a long way in getting mediocre teams into bowl games and stopping losing streaks like the one Tennessee is on. They need to limit the turnovers and allow their running game to control the tempo and the clock against this Arkansas team. For the Razorbacks, they want to lean on Franks and allow their defense to force turnovers against a team that has shown that is an issue in 2020.
