Arkansas Football: Way-too-early game-by-game predictions for 2018

This is it. This is the last opportunity for Arkansas to make the postseason but it will need a road win against Drew Lock and the Missouri Tigers on the road.

The Tigers aren’t exactly the most feared team in the SEC and finished 7-6 overall in 2017 and 4-4 in conference action. They are returning Lock for his senior season, but this game could have a ton on the line. In fact, the two teams could each be sitting at five wins in this one, looking to reach bowl eligibility.

Derek Dooley has been hired as Missouri’s offensive coordinator which could make this road win even more difficult for the Razorbacks, but the shootout will play into Arkansas’ favor.

Chad Morris will have his guys prepared to put points on the board and reach a bowl with a big road win and give the Razorbacks their first-ever win in Columbia, ending the Tigers’ two-game winning streak in the series.

Final Score: Arkansas 42, Missouri 38 (6-6, 2-6 SEC)
