The oddsmakers have Arkansas a 3-point ‘dog at Missouri this weekend. In an SEC road game forecast to be played in snow and bone-cold wind, that might as well be a tossup. Hang onto the ball, grind out a couple of long drives, hit a few close-range field goals, and the Hogs can begin dreaming of warmer climes for December.
Well … somewhat warmer. With their cruise-control win over Louisiana Tech over the weekend, Sam Pittman’s Razorbacks are bowl-eligible for the fourth time in his five seasons. That’s the good news. The less-good news is, even a win in Columbia would leave them at 7-5 for the year and in a logjam for mid-tier bowls in Texas and Tennessee.
