    Where did the report that Wilson had a broken collarbone come from? Or did he break his collarbone too?

    I added a couple of the missing lines. Sportsbook.ag says Alabama -20, which seems absurd considering Arkansas' injuries, Alabama's many lopsided wins the past two years and Nick Saban's dominance of the Razorbacks since he came to Tuscaloosa.

    2011: 38-14, home
    2010: 24-20, road
    2009: 35-7, home
    2008: 49-14, road
    2007: 41-38, home

    Keep in mind that in 2007 and 2010, the Razorbacks finished with better records than the Crimson Tide.

    Looks like lots of easy picks this week, Alabama included. Which means I'm gonna lose every one.

    Saw where Alabama was 20-0 in last 20 years in conference openers... That's a stat, right there.

    I make one bet a week. Otherwise, I'd be completely addicted. Week 1: Clemson. Week 2: Georgia. Week 3: Virginia Tech.

    I might be inclined to take Arkansas if it gets to 21 or so......It's not like Alabama is gonna put up more than 40 or 45......

    Chef, remember when you said Auburn was going to win the Iron Bowl last season?

    Based on what I saw on Twitter that night, CBS Sports tweeted it. Since CBS Sports Network is embedded with Arkansas for a TV series, everybody assumed it was accurate and ran with it. Then the UA SID repeated the "injury above the shoulders" line and CBS recanted and apologized.

    Beat writers in Fayetteville said Smith confirmed it was a concussion on Monday.

    I need to do the same as a fan one of these weekends. I'm in the neighborhood, so there's no excuse.

    Would rather see Griz football than the Vandals at this point.
