3. Ole Miss (at Arkansas)

This game could resemble the 53-52 shootout that Arkansas was victorious in during the 2015 season.

Ole Miss is favored, and they probably should be. They played Alabama tough for the first 53 or so minutes of the game.

Arkansas, as noted earlier, should have won if not for an awful call late in the game against Auburn.

At 1-2 (should be 2-1), Arkansas has already surpassed expectations on the year. The difference between this year and last year is already pretty staggering. The defense looks more prepared and the offense more in sync.

Feleipe Franks has been the major difference for Arkansas. The Florida transfer has thrown seven touchdown passes and just two interceptions on the year. He’s given Arkansas a confidence on offense that the Razorbacks haven’t had in years, and it’s transferring to the defense.

Both teams have the weapons to make this game a crazy shootout. The Rebels defense has shown it’s more than willing to give up big plays. You have to trust the Arkansas defense more, and that gives them the edge.
