Perhaps the biggest rivalry game of the weekend will take place in Columbia, Missouri, on Friday afternoon when the Mizzou Tigers host their archnemesis, the Arkansas Razorbacks.

OK, so maybe it’s not the biggest rivalry game (or even a top-20 rivalry game), but it still has the makings of a good SEC East-West matchup.

Both the Tigers (3-8, 1-6 SEC East) and Razorbacks (7-4, 3-4 SEC West) were involved in games with 100 total points scored last weekend (Mizzou lost to Tennessee 63-37 and Arkansas beat Mississippi State 58-42), so it could be an offensive shootout.

When the teams square off in the blandly named, and somewhat forced, Battle Line Rivalry game, it should at least be entertaining.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect on CBS on Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Central as you’re chowing down on Thanksgiving leftovers.

WHEN MIZZOU HAS THE BALL

Drew Lock vs. the Arkansas pass defense: Arkansas’s pass defense has been mediocre in 2016, allowing 220.6 yards per game through the air.

That’s bad news for the Razorbacks as they prepare to face sophomore QB Drew Lock, who leads the SEC in passing yards with 3,131 — 327 yards more than Hogs QB Austin Allen, who has the second-most yards in the conference.

Though Lock makes some questionable decisions with the ball and misses his fair share of open receivers, his talent is undeniable. He should pose plenty of problems for a maligned Arkansas secondary.

The Tigers will run close to 100 plays, if not more, on Friday, so the Razorbacks will need to do their best to keep Lock and the Mizzou receivers from making the big plays they’re used to making.

Edge: Mizzou

Ish Witter and Nate Strong vs. the Arkansas run defense: This would have been a no-brainer in favor of Mizzou until star freshman RB Damarea Crockett was arrested for marijuana possession on Sunday and suspended for Friday’s game.

Arkansas’s run defense has been all or nothing this season. The Razorbacks gave up 390 rushing yards to LSU, 264 to Alabama, 366 to Texas A&M and a whopping 543 yards to Auburn in their four losses, but have fared slightly better against everyone else.

Without Crockett, the Tigers will rely heavily on Ish Witter, who has proven to be a capable backup. He’s rushed 157 times for 738 yards and six touchdowns this season.

This matchup depends on how well Witter can carry a full workload and, more importantly, which Arkansas run defense shows up.

Edge: Push

Mizzou receivers vs. the Arkansas pass defense: Mizzou WR J’Mon Moore should be the SEC’s leading receiver, but he has two or three embarrassing drops every game.

However, he’s still the conference’s second-leading receiver, with 56 catches for 877 yards and eight touchdowns. That poses problems for the iffy Arkansas pass defense.

If Moore and Dimetrios Mason can get behind the Hogs’ secondary a time or two, and if they don’t drop the ball, the Tigers will have a shot to pull off the upset.

Add in freshman WR/KR Johnathon Johnson’s big-play potential and Lock should have plenty of opportunities to torch the Arkansas defense.

Edge: Mizzou

WHEN ARKANSAS HAS THE BALL

Austin Allen vs. the Mizzou pass defense: Arkansas QB Austin Allen isn’t too far behind Drew Lock in terms of passing stats. He’s second to Lock in the SEC in passing yards (see above) and has an identical 24-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

The biggest difference in Lock and Allen is the number of times they’ve been hit. Mizzou’s offense emphasizes quick pass plays, so Lock has been sacked only 11 times. Allen, meanwhile, has been sacked 24 times.

However, outside of DE Charles Harris, Mizzou can’t muster much pass rush, so Allen shouldn’t be sacked more than a couple of times on Friday. If he can stay clean, he’ll torch a Mizzou defense that has a lot of holes across the middle of the field.

Rawleigh Williams III vs. the Mizzou run defense: Rawleigh Williams III (above), a sophomore, leads the SEC with 1,209 rushing yards. He’s also added 11 touchdowns on the ground.

Just last week, the talented back bulldozed the Mississippi State defense for 205 yards and four scores.

The good news for Williams and the Hogs is that the Mizzou run defense is even more porous than the Mississippi State unit, allowing an embarrassing 258.4 yards per game.

Williams should run wild against the Tigers, securing the SEC rushing title by a wide margin.

Edge: Arkansas

Arkansas receivers vs. the Mizzou pass defense: The Arkansas receivers may not have the same big-play ability as Mizzou’s receivers, but they are a more reliable bunch.

Drew Morgan leads the way with 55 catches for 610 yards (but only three touchdowns). Keon Hatcher, on the other hand, may not have the same reception and yardage totals (35 for 532), but he’s been the bigger red-zone threat, with seven touchdown catches.

Jared Cornelius plays a solid third fiddle to Morgan and Hatcher, with 29 catches for 492 yards and four scores.

However, senior CBs Aarion Penton and John Gibson form one of the SEC’s best cornerback duos. There will be plenty of yards to gain on the porous Mizzou defense, but if Penton can add to his SEC-leading four interceptions and Gibson can lock down his man, Austin Allen is going to have to look elsewhere (like to talented TE Jeremy Sprinkle) on passing plays.

Edge: Mizzou

SPECIAL TEAMS

Mizzou’s kicking woes have been the stuff of legend this season, with precisely zero kickers on the roster capable of consistently making extra points. Arkansas, meanwhile, has only missed one extra point this year.

In the return game, neither team fares particularly well. However, Johnson has a punt return for a touchdown for the Tigers.

If he can make a big play in the return game, it could change momentum for Mizzou, but if not, the Tigers likely won’t be able to overcome their kicking woes.

Edge: Arkansas
