A Week 5 matchup between Arkansas and Georgia is looking like one of the best games of the season so far. Gambling911.com was forecasting an opening line of - get this - Bulldogs -22. But that was before the Hogs stunned Texas A&M. Georgia's 62-0 shutout of Vanderbilt was so dominant we could see a slight boost in their team ratings from 92.91. But Arkansas will be seeing a dramatic boost to their rating. Currently they are rated 52nd among the College Football teams. They should crack the Top 30, at the very least. This gives the Razorbacks a rating of 77 or better. And with that Gambling911.com will be assigning a very early line on the Razorbacks-Bulldogs game of -18. And this one was amazingly on the money as books opened at -18.5. Live lines will be available here at BetOnline.
As far as rankings go, Arkansas moved to No. 8 in the rankings, matching their highest reach of No. 8 during the 2012 season. The Razorbacks came in ranked No. 16 heading into their game against Texas A&M, matching their best since then.
As for UGA, their win wasn't just by 62 points, they also only allowed Vanderbilt 77 total yards.
And get this: Georgia coach Kirby Smart's squad exploded for 35 first-quarter points -- the most by a Georgia team since 1996, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
"You can't be elite some of the time. It has to be all of the time," Kirby said following that ass kicking.
