Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesAfter winning the national championship last year and starting the season with three impressive blowouts wins, the college football odds for the Alabama at Arkansas game this weekend show the Crimson Tide -7 over the Razorbacks.Both teams are playing well in the early going, with Arkansas also opening Jacksonville Jaguars jersey
the year 3-0.These teams last met on September 26th of last season, with Alabama winning that contest 35-7.The Crimson Tide opened the season with a 48-3 victory over San Jose State, beat then-No. 18 Penn State 24-3 the following week, and last Saturday Alabama crushed Duke 62-13. This team has wasted no time letting everyone know that they are trying to repeat as national champions, and they are letting nobody stand in their way.Their stiffest test yet will come this Saturday at Arkansas, and if they post another dominant performance, it would be hard to see any team knocking off Alabama this year.Alabama put up 28 points in the first quarter against Duke, and their 62-point total is what you would likely see from a Crimson Tide basketball team.Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram was awesome in his return from injury, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries. His backfield mate, Trend Richardson, rushed for 61 yards on seven carries with a touchdown. Richardson also returned a kickoff 91 yards for a score.It was great to have Mark back, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. He certainly gives us another weapon and he did a fantastic job in the time that he played. Saban went on to say, But I think the offense deserves a lot of credit. Greg did a good job. Trent played well today. Julio played well. The latter is Julio Jones, who caught five balls for 106 yards in the win.McElroy did throw his first interception of the season, but he has been mistake-free for the most part all year.

With so many weapons offensively, all he has to do is take care of the football and Alabama will be a very tough team to beat. But with three ranked opponents coming up, including Arkansas, Florida, and South Carolina, the Crimson Tide will be tested.The Razorbacks made a big statement last week, going into Georgia and winning 31-24. Arkansas is now 3-0 after taking care of Tennessee Tech 44-3 in Week 1 and Louisiana-Monroe 31-7 in Week 2.Heisman Trophy candidate Ryan Mallett had another big day last Saturday, proving himself as a clutch performer by hitting Greg Childs for a 40-yard game-winning touchdown with 14 seconds left to beat the Bulldogs. His numbers have always been there, but many have questioned whether he could make the big play in a big game. He finished 21-of-33 for 380 yards and three touchdowns against Georgia.Arkansas is now 3-0 for the first time since 2003, and the Razorbacks are now the No. 10 team in the nation. A win Saturday would cement them as legitimate national title contenders. They already took a big step in that direction last week with their first win in Athens since 1993.This Razorbacks offense has been extremely efficient in the red zone this season, scoring on all 10 of their trips inside the opponent's 20-yard line. That could be huge Miami Dolphins jersey
against Alabama, because scoring touchdowns instead of field goals is the only way theyll have a chance to pull off the upset.Jack Jones will have several college football picks for Week 4 starting Thursday as he continues his 76-54 (58 percent) football run. He will also have several more game previews available on the top contests this week.
