Safer Bet Michigan or Arkansas?

Why do you have to pick from these two?
Anyways, I think that leaning slightly on Arkansas if you had to pick one of the two, if you put in the road factor. I don't think either is a particularly great play.

Arkansas. First road game for Michigan and its a night game. Funny things happen on the road at night.

Well I want to pick a ranked team to win and those are the only good games that actually can get me profit from a bet. Stanford and Alabama wont make any money picking those. Unless you can think of another ranked team today to bet on?

I'm on Arkansas -10. Simply put, they can't afford another loss so I think they'll really push tempo, especially early. Their strength is in passing and Auburn's greatest weakness is in pass defense. Look at Auburn's game against Clemson (who I think is a pretty decent comparison for Arkansas). Clemson put up 386 passing yards (624 total) against Auburn. Last week's win against South Carolina looks good on paper, but it's just smoke and mirrors. Garcia and Spurrier handed that game to Auburn. Add to that, Petrino owes Chizik a beatdown.

Actually, I will likely play the Hogs 1Q or 1H as well.
