One of five college football matchups between ranked teams scheduled for this weekend pits the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Arkansas Razorbacks, and we offer our top picks below.
Although widely regarded as one of three elite teams in college football this season, Alabama (3-1 ATS, 1-3 O/U) has yet to truly be tested. That statement is hardly a slight against Texas, who played the Crimson Tide to a 1-point game a few weeks ago. Alabama will need to be a lot better on Saturday to avoid a similar sw eat against its SEC cohorts.
It will be interesting to see how Arkansas (2-2 ATS, 3-1 O/U) rebounds from a heartbreaking loss to Texas A&M last weekend. Not only did the Razorbacks have a field goal try to win it late, but they also were down on the goalline earlier in the game before the A&M defense returned a fumble 99 yards in what was effectively a 13-point swing.
Here are our college football betting picks for the Week 5 matchup between Alabama and Arkansas (odds via PointsBet and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).
