No one is giving Arkansas football much of a chance on Saturday to upset Alabama but the Razorbacks may put up a fight regardless.

There’s no way around it, Alabama is a massive favorite on Saturday afternoon. Despite the fact that this game will take place in Fayetteville, the Razorbacks don’t stand much of a chance, according to Vegas.

Arkansas could put up a fight and surprise some people just like it has all season long. The Razorbacks could beat the spread and hold off a tough Alabama team for as long as possible.

Mac Jones and Co. are rolling right now, but will they hit a roadblock on Saturday?

3. Treylon Burks posts over 150 receiving yards

Treylon Burks is one of the best receivers in the entire country. He’s quietly put together a big season with over 800 yards and seven touchdowns on 49 receptions and no one seems to be talking about him.

Alabama has been known to give up some big points and yardage this season and Burks may be the best receiver the Crimson Tide have faced outside of Elijah Moore who had 143 yards on 11 receptions. I expect an equally as impressive performance from Burks on Saturday afternoon.

Burks is coming off his best game with the Razorbacks, catching 10 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown and he’s going to carry that momentum over against the Tide.

The sophomore will finish with over 150 receiving yards and a touchdown on eight catches, finishing the season with just short of 1,000 yards and 57 receptions with eight scores.
