Unless Saban has put watching ESPN off limits this week, his players have gotten a heavy dose of La.-Monroe's overtime upset of the Hogs.
For Arkansas, today's game is about the rest of the season. An upset puts Arkansas back on track for a big finish. A loss, close or not, causes further damage to a team that so much was expected of. With the possible exception of Kentucky down the road (we don't think the 'Cats are very good), this could turn into a really bad year.
This week's picks:

Tyler Wilson hasn't done much in practice this week, but that doesn't mean the Razorback quarterback won't play today. He plays, the Hogs show up. He doesn't, change that channel. Even if the running game shows up for a change with Knile Davis and Dennis Johnson, Arkansas hasn't had success running on a Saban team the past three years, averaging 48 yards and 2.2 yards a carry in losses.
Alabama 35
