Auburn opens as a road underdog against the Arkansas Razorbacks /

In this story:

The Auburn Tigers have won back-to-back SEC games and will take that winning streak on the road to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Arkansas has severely underperformed their expectation for the season, especially with the weapons they have at quarterback with KJ Jefferson and running back with Rocket Sanders.

It felt like the Hog's win over Florida had a significant impact on the outlook for this game on Saturday between the Tigers and the Razorbacks.

Auburn fans felt that if Arkansas had lost in the Swamp, this game would have taken the life out of the Hogs, but they got the big win.

This win seems to have rejuvenated this Arkansas team based on some post-game video we saw of Jefferson celebrating.

If Auburn wants to win this football game, a lot of it will come down to Payton Thorne and the offense.

We know the defense will travel, but Thorne has struggled on the road. Although Thorne did have a good road showing last week against Vanderbilt, it's hard to consider this a road game, as Auburn fans filled nearly every seat in the stadium.

If Thorne has another good game and the receivers are able to hold onto passes this week, the Auburn Tigers should head back to the Plains with a big road victory.

Let's take a look at betting odds for Auburn's matchup with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
