Meanwhile, the Utes won and covered with ease against Idaho, winning 66-14.

Arkansas vs. Utah Key Player to Watch

Devon Dampier, QB - Utah Utes

Devon Dampier wasn't asked to do too much against Idaho, but he looked impressive in his limited action. He completed 13-of-18 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 31 yards on the ground. This Utah team will go as far as Dampier can take them.

Arkansas vs. Utah Prediction and Best Bet

I was high on Utah coming into this season, and nothing in its Week 1 game against Idaho makes me feel any differently about the Utes. Their offense can put up points against any team in the country, and their defense shouldn't have any issue against the Razorbacks this week.

Arkansas averaged a measly 3.0 yards per carry against an FCS team in Week 1, which should be extremely concerning for the Arkansas faithful moving forward this season. To say this could be a down year for the 'Hogs would be an understatement.

I think Utah wins this game going away and covers the spread with ease.
