While Alabama and Arkansas are certainly focused on their Week 5 opponents, Kentucky and Alcorn State respectively, that’s not stopping people from looking ahead to the Week 6 showdown between the Crimson Tide and Razorbacks.
Handicapper Brian Edwards of Vegas Insider gave his thoughts on the opening line for the Tide vs. Hogs during an appearance on the syndicated Arkansas radio show Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly Thursday afternoon:
Edwards: I’m thinking Alabama will open as a 7- to 7.5-point favorite against Arkansas next weekend.

The last time Nick Saban’s squad visited Fayetteville, Ark., it was a close call, but Alabama held on in a 14-13 squeaker.
This will definitely be a line to watch as we get closer to Oct. 8.
