Free Football Picks: Eastern Michigan at Arkansas

If you are looking for a football handicapper to help you win more of your bets, then check to see who Mitch Wilson is taking this weekend.  In this article he offers his free pick for the weekend on Arkansas -38:

Two teams headed in completely opposite directions meet as the Arkansas Razorbacks host the Eastern Michigan Eagles.

No one can look at this out of conference game on Arkansas’ schedule and say the Razorbacks have taken the easy way out. Arkansas has played the toughest schedule in the country for at least two years running. The Razorbacks have played the number one and two teams in the country as opposed to last season when they played one, two, and three in consecutive weeks. Even after this game Arkansas has some tough sledding ahead of them but this game should be an easy one for them. Ryam Mallett has proved to be a gutsy gunslinger under center and the defense backs down from no one. Arkansas has played tough, even in defeat and nearly knocked off number one Florida a few weeks back. This game shouldn’t even prove to be more difficult than an inter squad scrimmage for the Hogs.

Eastern Michigan has gone from bad to worse as QB Andy Schmitt went down for the season. Last week EMU lost to previously winless Ball State in a battle of two of the worst teams in the country. If Eastern Michigan isn’t the worst team in the country, they are definitely in the bottom two or three as they have a lifeless offense and a pathetic defense. Eastern Michigan is 119th in points scored and 107th in points allowed which appears to be a magical formula for losing every game this season. This one should be one of the worst losses they take.

Normally I go to trends here but there is no reason to waste and more time or effort on this game nor waste any of your time reading something that in this case won’t carry a shred of importance. Eastern Michigan just stinks and has no chance. This is one of those games where people not familiar with the college game look at the scoreboard and their eyes pop open. I can see a 60-70 point win here for Arkansas if they take it easy on the Eagles in the second half, otherwise it could be even worse.
