The oddsmakers like Penn State in a tight one when they play the Arkansas Razorbacks on New Year’s Day. The Nittany Lions have opened as a 2.5 point favorite in the Outback Bowl.
Arkansas enters the game ranked #22 in the latest AP Poll, after an 8-4 regular season. The Razorbacks reached as high as #8 in the rankings after an impressive 4-0 start, but were handed their first loss by Georgia. They would lose their next two to Ole Miss and Auburn, but turned things around with a 5-1 stretch to close the season.
