1. Game comes down to the final seconds

A year ago, this game wasn’t quite as close as Arkansas won handily, 33-21. But I see this season’s contest coming down to the wire.

Everyone has their money on Ole Miss, but I think Arkansas is going to be a bigger problem than people think. The Razorbacks are one of the best teams in the SEC despite what happened last weekend against Georgia. They have a better defense than Ole Miss, but the Rebels have a better offense.

Both teams’ strengths are the opposite but both also are improved on their “weaker” sides of the ball. The Rebels can hold up on defense and Arkansas has more offensive explosion than they did a year ago thanks to KJ Jefferson.

This game is going to be as tight as it comes and the last team that has the ball gets the win. Unfortunately for Ole Miss, I think the Razorbacks might just pull off the road win.

But honestly, flip a coin here, but whoever wins, gets the victory by a last-second field goal.
