Arkansas vs. Cincinnati Prediction

Cincinnati graduated a ton of players from their playoff team last year, including their starting QB Desmond Ridder. Ridder had a great college career, and it will be a tough act to follow. The real issue comes on the defensive side of the ball as they return the least amount of starters in their conference. Cincinnati is confident that they will have the right guys to take over this year. Arkansas will look to make some noise out of the SEC. This is a team that brings back some core players, including signal caller KJ Jefferson. They also will have a lot of starters back on the defensive side of the football. Arkansas enters the season ranked nineteenth in the nation, but they feel this is a roster capable of making a lot of noise this year. 

I will be backing the Razorbacks on the -6.5 line this afternoon. I love the line we are getting today with the much better roster at home. I do not believe in this Cincinnati team this year, and I feel that they have far too much turnover on this roster to be able to compete in week one. Arkansas is an experienced team with a great defense that should be ready to go in front of their home crowd this afternoon. Let’s take advantage of this line today and stay red hot!
