Arkansas Razorbacks vs Auburn Tigers Picks, Prediction and Best Bets for Saturday, November 7, 2026
Arkansas heads to Auburn this Saturday, November 7, for an SEC matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Kickoff is at 12:45 pm ET on SEC Network. Neither team has played particularly well lately.

The Razorbacks have lost three of their last four, and Auburn has dropped two straight. The Tigers are favored by 10.5 points, with the total at 52.5. Check out our free college football picks.
Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas cannot finish a drive right now. Scoring just 10 points against Missouri was a brutal reality check. It hurts even worse considering they hung 31 on Vanderbilt just two weeks ago. That makes three losses in four games. The wheels are falling off this offense. Quarterback KJ Jackson has some solid stats - 1,673 yards, seven touchdowns, and five picks - but he might be missing his top weapon. Receiver Chris Marshall has a leg injury and is questionable. That is a massive blow, considering he leads the team with 43 catches for 633 yards.
Running the ball has been a disaster. They have logged just 840 yards on 273 tries, breaking down to a miserable 3.1 yards per carry. Sutton Smith leads the running backs with a quiet 217 yards. Jackson has used his legs for four touchdowns, but dynamic, explosive plays just don't happen here. Defensively, Ja'Quavion Smith has logged 53 tackles. Quincy Rhodes Jr. has three sacks. But look at the big picture: Arkansas has recorded just 10 sacks as a team all season.

Auburn Tigers
Auburn’s defense cannot stop any offense. Giving up 45 points to Ole Miss on Saturday came just one week after LSU put 38 on them. Remember when they beat Georgia? That feels like ancient history. Now, everything relies on Byrum Brown. He has thrown for 1,560 yards, nine touchdowns, and seven picks. But he’s also their best runner, leading the squad with 484 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. When he throws, Keshaun Singleton is the primary target with 433 yards.
Brown’s mobility gives Auburn a clear advantage. The Tigers have racked up 1,221 rushing yards at 4.2 yards per carry. That completely eclipses Arkansas' ground game. Jeremiah Cobb adds 355 yards to the mix. Auburn also has a better pass rush with 17 sacks on the year, led by Elijah Melendez (63 tackles, four sacks). But you can't ignore the 83 points allowed over the last two weeks. This defense needs help.
Auburn Team Stats:
- Passing yards: 1,726
- Rushing yards: 1,221
- Rushing average: 4.2 yards per carry
- Team sacks: 17
- Interceptions: 9
Injuries: Hunter Herring questionable. Eric Smith and Nate Davenport out.
Arkansas Razorbacks vs Auburn Tigers Prediction
Neither defense can be trusted after last weekend. But Auburn actually has a ground game, and Brown’s scrambling ability is a nightmare scenario for a sluggish Arkansas front. Auburn wins at home. But 10.5 points is a massive spread for a team giving up points like charity. Take the points and expect a backdoor cover.
Final Score Prediction: Auburn Tigers win 31-24, but Arkansas covers +10.5.
