The Law of Winning
Hey guys. Haven't posted many plays but I really like Alabama to win by a touchdown at Arkansas. Here's one angle that enticed me:
Arkansas is in the BOTTOM of the SEC in Red Zone D. They've allowed 10 out of 11 attempts from the red zone - that's a 91% clip. 9 of those were TD's. 1 was a FG. On the other side, Alabama just a tremendous job getting to the Red Zone, they just haven't been getting Td's. They've gotten to the Red Zone 16 times, more than any SEC team, and have scored on 12 of those times. However, only 5 were TD's, leaving 7 field goals. Up until last game against LA Monroe, Alabama had only recorded 1 TD. I had UL Monroe last week, and was surprised to see Alabama shine on offense and cover easily. I think this offensive performance is going to carry over into their game at Arkansas. Arkansas is awful in the Red Zone, and Alabama will exploit this. Another telling stat: Arkansas is LAST in the SEC in ball control, keeping the ball for a measely 25 minutes a game. Alabama, on the other hand, keeps it an average of 35 minutes a game, the best in the SEC. Expect Bama to grind this game out, but score when they are in a position to. Alabama 20-14
