Top Week 9 college football expert predictions
One of Casale's top Week 9 college football picks: He's backing Arkansas (-114) on the money line against Auburn in a 12:45 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday.
Arkansas lost by three points to ranked teams Tennessee and Texas A&M, while averaging 36.5 points per game under interim head coach Bobby Petrino. The Tigers, meanwhile, have lost four straight to Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Georgia and Missouri. All four games were close but unlike Arkansas, the Tigers averaged just 13 points in the losses.
"Arkansas already fired its coach and the kids are still playing hard," Casale told SportsLine. "Meanwhile, Hugh Freeze's seat is blazing hot right now and this is a team that thought they would compete for a playoff spot this season. I wonder if the players will be able to get up for a 2-5 Arkansas team on the road this week.
"I think this is a tough spot for Auburn. I trust Taylen Green and Arkansas's offense more in this game and outside of the Notre Dame debacle, the Hogs had a chance to win every game this season. If a couple of bounces went their way, Arkansas could be sitting at 6-1 right now. I'll back the Hogs to finally win a close game at home."
