Georgia vs Arkansas odds maker breakdown: What’s On The Line
Georgia is coming off a tough, physical and emotional contest against South Carolina and they have a bit of a letdown. They struggled with South Carolina more than sportsbook odds makers thought they would, which gives the indication that they aren’t in fact as good as their preseason ranking indicated. For Arkansas, this is a very important game. A win here in primetime might be the biggest in the Bobby Petrino era. It’s a contest that will set the tone for the rest of the Razorbacks season.

Georgia vs Arkansas odds maker breakdown: Offense
The Bulldogs running game was a question mark heading into the season, but it has been competent to start the year. They’ve gained a lot of yards, but the 3.4 yards per game are uninspiring. The passing game has also been so-so. A.J. Green is the only real lethal threat on this offense. The Arkansas offense is slowly improving in its second year and quarterback Ryan Mallett looks far more competent than last year’s options. They set a school record for passing yards in the opener and have now had two weeks to prepare for this contest. They should be fresher, crisper and more dangerous than the Georgia offense. Betting Edge: Arkansas
Georgia vs Arkansas odds maker breakdown: Defense
The Bulldogs defense is supposed to be a high-quality SEC defense but there are question marks after they gave up 37 points to a meager South Carolina offense. They have only forced one turnover and generated just two sacks in the first two games. This is going to be a good test for the Arkansas defense. They aren’t great, but neither is the Georgia offense. Joe Cox is an efficient passer but he’s not dangerous. We know that the Arkansas offense has improved and now we’ll see if the defense has made strides as well. Betting Edge: Even
