    Arkansas-Mississippi

    No 10 Arkansas vs. Mississippi

    The Arkansas and Mississippi matchup should easily top this week’s list of no-brainer, easy money College Football picks. Mississippi is a sinking ship this season and a visit from a top ten ranked opponent does not help their cause at all. Mississippi is currently in the midst of a school record nine game losing streak in conference play, and Arkansas will undoubtedly extend that streak to ten after Saturday’s game.
    Arkansas is coming into this game off of a bye week and there is no huge game on the other side of this one to distract the Razorbacks from the task at hand. They saw how Mississippi was manhandled by Alabama last week and Arkansas has the ability to win in a similar fashion. There are plenty of other trends that support this view besides the current state of futility of the Mississippi football program under Houston Nutt.
    For starters, Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson has thrown for more yards and more touchdowns this season than all three of the Mississippi’s quarterbacks combined. The Razorbacks are 7-1 against the spread in their last 8 games on field turf, 13-3 against the spread in their last 16 conference games, and Arkansas is better than Mississippi in nearly every phase of the game. All signs are pointing in the same direction, and they say “BET ARKANSAS THIS WEEK.”
    Sure, Arkansas is 0-1 on the road so far this season, but that lone loss came against the Crimson Tide. Please remember that this is the same Crimson Tide team that has rolled over everyone in pretty impressive fashion. Mississippi is also well aware of the dominance of Alabama having lost to them 52-7 just last week.
    Mississippi is a desperate team that will give Arkansas their best shot, but can the Rebels sustain their effort throughout the course of an entire game? I say no. Any team that has lost as many consecutive conference games as Mississippi has so far has to doubt their ability at this point. As soon as Arkansas reels off a big play the Rebels will collapse like a cheap umbrella in a thunderstorm.

    Take Arkansas -15.5

    LOL @ Cheap umbrella... I wouldn't know because I only purchase the finest umbrellas, but you are correct, Ark Rolls.
