The 2007 Arkansas Razorbacks preview and college football predictions article from Jimmy Boyd has arrived. If you want to take your football betting to the next level this season then you will need to know everything you can about each team in the college ranks, and Jimmy has done his research. That is why you will want to pick up his NCAA football picks package this season because with this amount of information at his finger tips he will look forward to yet another year of beating the college football odds and winning money for his clients.

Casey Dick is being counted on to take advantage of a solid set of receivers and pass catches out of the back field this season in order to get Arkansas out of the basement of the NCAA’s passing ranks. The running game you know will be there with Heisman candidate and possibly the best running back in the nation when Darren McFadden carries the ball. Felix Jones is no slouch either and he gained over 1,000 yards a season ago. Marcus Monk is a solid receiver and will start along with Robert Johnson. With opponents keying in on the run late last season when the Hogs lost their last 3 games, pressure will be on Dick this year to carry some of the load.

The defense lost a lot from a year ago, but the front seven should be ready to move along just fine. It’s the secondary that we are currently worried about. Free safety Michael Grant had a serious knee injury last year and without Chris Houston, the team won’t be able to play nearly as much man coverage as a year ago. Up front defensive end Antwain Robinson is going to be getting post-season honors if his progress continues, and Ernest Mitchell was able at tackle a year ago. Freddie Fairchild is the best linebacker of the group and is as tough as they come. This guy blew out a knee in a game last season and kept on playing. 

The difference between a decent season and a great one will be how the passing game develops and if the defense can replace the losses they sustained. McFadden and Jones will give Arkansas plenty of chances to score. The team starts out with a test when they go to Alabama then gets Auburn and South Carolina on their home turf. Those are three big games when the team has to travel to both Tennessee and LSU, games we have to think the team will be significant underdogs in.
