\"Auburn<\/a>
The Auburn Tigers aim for consecutive wins as double-digit road underdogs this Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Auburn is set to play Arkansas for the 21st time and is coming off a 16-13 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks as 10.5-point road underdogs.\u00a0 The Tigers own an 11-8-1 advantage in the series, with the squads splitting the last 10 meetings.\u00a0 Auburn picked up a 65-43 win in last year\u2019s meeting as 3.5-point home favorites, out-gaining Arkansas by just 96 yards.\u00a0 The program has had an incredible ability of winning the close game under head coach Gene Chizik, posting a 9-0 record in games decided by four points or less, including a 5-0 mark versus SEC competition.\u00a0 Auburn is 14-5 ATS versus conference opponents.<\/p>\n

The Tigers aren\u2019t afraid to play on the road, tallying a 9-4 record in such contests under Chizik\u2019s direction.\u00a0 Auburn has also tallied a 19-11 mark versus ranked competition since the start of the 2001 campaign.\u00a0 Six of the school\u2019s last eight wins have come against teams that were ranked or currently ranked.\u00a0 Running back Michael Dyer might come into this contest a little worn out due to carrying the ball 41 times last week.\u00a0 He had more rushing attempts than 74 out of 108 teams nationally.<\/p>\n

Arkansas came back from an 18-point halftime deficit last week to come out of the Southwest Classic inside Cowboys Stadium with a 42-38 win as 2.5-point neutral-site underdogs.\u00a0 The Razorbacks have started 4-1 for the second straight season and have won eight of their last 10 games dating back to last season.\u00a0 Head coach Bobby Petrino loves coaching in front of the home fans, posting a 44-6 record in his career, while also leading his teams to a 19-9 mark in October.\u00a0 Arkansas is 12-5 ATS versus conference opponents and the \u2018over\u2019 is 11-6 in that span.<\/p>\n

The Razorbacks have been sensational in the fourth quarter, outscoring opponents by a 43-10 margin.\u00a0 Arkansas is also a perfect 20-of-20 in the red zone, joining just four other teams that are still perfect inside the 20-yard line in scoring points.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is led by the solid play of quarterback Tyler Wilson, who set a single-game passing record for the school with 510 yards last week.\u00a0 He leads the SEC and ranks seventh in the NCAA with 1,517 passing yards, while his 64.5 percent completion percentage ranks third in the SEC and 38th in the country.\u00a0 Throwing the ball has been the team\u2019s strength under Petrino, going over 300 passing yards in 23 of 43 games.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Razorbacks due to their 8-1 ATS mark as a favorite, while the Tigers are 1-4 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to 10 points.<\/p>\n
