Auburn football faces a formidable challenger in Arkansas football on Saturday.
No. 13 Auburn football needs a complete game to hold off Arkansas football.
The latest installment of this SEC West rivalry game has a bit of a different feel to it. Auburn is 1-1 in its first two games of the season. While that doesn’t come as much of a surprise, what it is has to be seeing Arkansas at 1-1 as well. Though Auburn is the ranked team in this ballgame, it wouldn’t be shocking if Sam Pittman’s team pulled off another upset on the road in 2020.
Here is how to watch No. 13 Auburn take on Arkansas on Saturday afternoon.

Auburn will be laying 14 points at home to the visiting Razorbacks. The associated money lines for this game are Auburn -620 and Arkansas +410. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 45.5 points. There has been a little bit of action on this game on the side of Arkansas, as the Hogs were initially getting 16 points on the road vs. Auburn in this one. Odds are from Odds Shark.
Even though Auburn needs to play infinitely better than it did against the Georgia Bulldogs last week, the Tigers have more talent than the Razorbacks. Despite former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris serving as Gus Malzahn’s offensive coordinator in Auburn, the Tigers are tough to beat at home when they feel they’ve been slighted by the national media like the were last week.
The only problem for Malzahn and his team is Arkansas is well-coached. Sam Pittman has already done more in two games than Morris ever did in two years with the Hogs. Having Barry Odom and Kendall Briles as his coordinators will make this game close. Auburn will win, but a backdoor cover by the Hogs means it’ll only be a 10-point Tigers victory. This over hits here as well on Saturday.
Pick: Auburn 31, Arkansas 21
