Arkansas football has one last hoorah before the season is officially put to bed. Here are three bold predictions from the Razorback’s 2017 finale.

It’s been a long and not terribly joyful road for Arkansas football this year. The Razorbacks have one Power 5 win. It came against a mediocre Ole Miss team and it took a fourth quarter rally to get it done. The Razorbacks sit at 1-6 in the SEC and play host to Missouri in what will be their final regular season game. A win would put them at 5-7, still one win shy of the six needed to send them to a bowl game.

Missouri looked to be destined for that fate early in the season. The Tigers dropped five of their first six games with the only win coming over FCS Missouri State in a shootout. They reached the midpoint of the season 1-5 and were largely written off.

Somehow, from that low spot, Barry Odom‘s team has righted the ship. Missouri has won five consecutive games including three straight SEC contests. The Tigers enter the Battle Line Rivalry as quite possibly the hottest team in the SEC.

Can the Razorbacks find a way to slow down the surging Tigers? Or will the offensive firepower of Missouri overwhelm an Arkansas defense that hasn’t been up to par. Here are three bold prediction for Friday’s game between Arkansas and Missouri.
