Being slotted in the same division as Auburn, Texas A&M and Alabama can’t be easy, especially when you get them all back-to-back-to-back. Three straight weeks, three consecutive tough matchups.

As you can imagine, this one is going to get out of hand like it did last season when Alabama sleepwalked to a 41-9 victory in Tuscaloosa.

Nick Saban has assembled yet another national title-worthy squad and this time he may have his best quarterback yet in Tua Tagovailoa. While Jalen Hurts hasn’t been ruled out as the No. 1 quarterback just yet, all signs are pointing to the sophomore to win the job and it’s because of his passing prowess. Hurts is more of a runner, but Tua can do it all.

Add Tagovailoa to an elite run game behind a rock-solid offensive line and arguably the best receiving corps in the country and you have a recipe for disaster for Arkansas.

This defense will struggle for confidence throughout this one as Alabama will be scoring at will. The Razorbacks will be dazed and confused when this one’s all over.

Final Score: Alabama 48, Arkansas 13 (3-3, 0-3 SEC)
