Arkansas +17 3.3% play
Miss State is not only in a major let down spot after upsetting last years National Championship LSU as a 14 point dog, but that leads to a very inflated line in the early season going, that I just don’t agree with. 75% of the tickets are being placed on Miss State based on what they saw a week ago, and the final score in the Arkansas/Georgia game. Both teams here are breaking in new head coaches, and Mike Leach has made his statement on the 2020 season, but it shouldn’t be a complete shock when you consider LSU lost both of their coordinators, 15 players to the NFL, multiple opt outs, and their coordinators brought in completely different systems in a shortened off season.
Arkansas was impressive for a bit against an incredibly good Georgia team. I really like what this Arkansas team did by bringing in Sam Pittman who brough over OC Kendal Briles form FSU, and Barry Odom as their DC (formerly Missouri). Arkansas has veteran players on both sides of the ball including Florida transfer Feleipe Franks. Worth noting is there have been just 7 teams in the SEC who won as a 14 point dog in the last 10 years, and those teams are just 1-6 SU & ATS the following week.
