Arkansas Razorbacks vs. BYU Cougars Betting Analysis & Odds (10-15-2022)

Certainly, Arkansas is an improved betting on College Football program under Sam Pittman. But the Razorbacks have a long way to go before becoming a bona fide SEC contender. Last month Arkansas self-destructed in a loss to Texas A&M. Next came a disappointing home loss to #1 Alabama. The game showed how far the Hogs’ rebuild has to go. Last week was an ugly loss at Mississippi State. Bulldogs coach Mike Leach’s group is one most difficult teams in the SEC to prepare for. And Arkansas was proven to be not ready.
