Arkansas Football Game-by-Game Predictions for SEC Matchups

arkansas head coach — Arkansas is one of the teams to watch for 2015; that much can be said. The Hogs also have one of the toughest schedules in the country and it will be interesting to see just how well they can do against these tough teams. Here are my predictions for each SEC game for the Arkansas Razorbacks in the 2015 season.

Texas A&M (Neutral Field): Win

Kyle Allen

Texas A&M (Neutral Field): Win

Kyle Allen — Last season was a heartbreaker for the Hogs. Arkansas gave up a two-touchdown lead late in the fourth quarter to the Aggies, causing the game to go into overtime with A&M having the momentum. Of course, the Aggies pulled out an easy overtime win and made the first of a lot of close losses for Arkansas. But in 2015, the Hogs will come back strong and finish the game off right this time. Heck, I don't even see the Hogs making this a close one.

At Tennessee: Win

Tennessee v South Carolina

At Tennessee: Win

Tennessee v South Carolina — Arkansas facing up against Tennessee will be the the major collision between the West and East for 2015. Both of these squads are looking for comeback seasons in 2015, but Arkansas is just a little bit more ready than the Volunteers. The Hogs will have more experience under their belt and will surely be more skilled with finishing the fourth quarter strong. Although the Razorbacks will have to overcome Tennessee's home-field advantage.

At Alabama: Loss

Alabama Crimson Tide QB Jake Coker

At Alabama: Loss

Alabama Crimson Tide QB Jake Coker — Arkansas had a big heartbreaker in 2014 with a 14-13 loss to Alabama. The Hogs haven't put a W in the win/loss column against the Crimson Tide since 2006. Sadly there's not much of a possibility of that happening in 2015 either. Arkansas has the talent and tenacity to bring the win against Alabama, but they just don't have the home-field advantage. Give it a year and maybe the Hogs get them in 2016, which would be 10 years since their last win.

Auburn: Win

Auburn: Win

Jeremy Johnson — Arkansas opened up 2014 with a 45-21 loss at Auburn, getting outscored 24-0 in the second half. Arkansas will come back in 2015 having no problem shutting them down with every angle. However, this will be one of Arkansas' closest wins for the 2015 season, but this time I believe that the Hogs will be able to actually pull one out in the fourth quarter.

At Ole Miss: Win

Mississippi v Arkansas

At Ole Miss: Win

Mississippi v Arkansas — Arkansas embarrassed Ole Miss last year with a 30-0 win, capping off their back-to-back conference shutouts. In 2015, Ole Miss looks for revenge, but sadly they will keep looking for it. The talent for the Rebels will just not be there in 2015 like it was last season. Arkansas should be able to shut them down just like they did in the past, even if it isn't at their home field.

At LSU: Loss

LSU Tigers Les Miles SEC Football NCAA

At LSU: Loss

LSU Tigers Les Miles SEC Football NCAA — The Battle for the Golden Boot is a long tradition between LSU and Arkansas. One thing's for sure when it comes to this rivalry: you never are sure who is going to win. Arkansas came in hot in 2014 with a 17-0 shutout against the Tigers, completely humiliating them. The Hogs might come in a little cocky this time, and that could possibly be what sets the game apart. You can't ever get too cocky at Death Valley.

Missouri: Win

South Dakota State v Missouri

Missouri: Win

South Dakota State v Missouri — I think this will be one of Arkansas' easiest SEC wins for 2015. Missouri got lucky last year with their victory, that much can be said. Arkansas was hot coming off of the two SEC shutouts. Anyone can say that the loss to Missouri was a fluke. Arkansas will have no problem shutting them down this year, especially now that they have home-field advantage.
