NCAAF Betting Preview: Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Auburn Tigers (10/29/2022)

Specifically, the term “fit” is perpetually used when describing a College Football betting success plan. And Arkansas coach Sam Pittman is hailed as a perfect fit. Pittman has established a program of tough players that are fearless and relentless. On the other hand, Auburn coach Bryan Harsin has proven to be a fish out of water. And Harsin’s program commits the ultimate deadly SEC sin. Auburn relies more on game planning than recruiting. In the SEC, that is a virtual suicide note. Auburn will host Arkansas on Saturday in an SEC coaching and culture clash.
