Auburn @ Arkansas (-2.5) (O/U 48.5)

Evan: Arkansas showed life after booting the OC, but is it enough for more than just a one-week shot in the arm? I really would stay away from this game if it wasn’t on our sheet because I really do not know which way to lean on this one. Arkansas at home, I guess? Arkansas -2.5

Justin: Was last week what we can expect from this point on from Arkansas? Probably not, but they are at home. Arkansas -2.5

Ryan: I’m not falling for it. I’m not falling for the Arkansas win over Florida as a sign of improvement without Enos. Auburn has the defense to contain Arkansas and the rushing attack to score enough. Auburn +2.5

John: Arkansas fired their OC and magically turned everything around last week. If they keep this up everyone will wonder why they took so long to do that. Before last week I would’ve easily taken Auburn in this one, and it’s definitely harder to take them now, but I think I’ll choose Auburn to stay within the points. Auburn +2.5

Ethan: I don’t think enough people paid attention early on when Dan Enos was hired. The man’s time as offensive coordinator in Fayetteville should’ve never happened and that has very little to do with whether or not he’s a “good” play-caller or anything of that sort. I’m not convinced that his offense really was a good fit for that roster. And now we’re starting to see what it looks like when the Razorbacks are able to alter their offense a bit and have a little fun. Arkansas -2.5

Andrew: I’m going to disagree some with Ryan because I don’t think Auburn’s defense is actually good. Now the Hog offense isn’t either, but I think getting rid of Enos was a big deal for them. And while AU’s offense has played better as of late, the Arkansas defense can give them enough problems to get the win. Arkansas -2.5
