The Cat's chances just went up!

Bill Connelly released his bowl projections. He has the Cat's as 3 point dogs while F+ has them as 4.7 point underdogs. Wonder if he realizes it almost guarantees a KSU victory?
I know both teams have a month to prepare. However very few, if any, coaches equal Coach Snyder in preparation. Also with a month to get fully healthy Colin Klein and his line should be at peak form. Hopefully that will translate into a stronger passing attack as well.
::Hands to my head:: I foresee a close game with KSU winning by 4 in 3 OT's.

If the Hogs typical offensive line shows up, we'll be able to put some pressure on Wilson.
Wilson, though, doesn’t really scare in the pocket and he’ll take a hit. Arkansas has turned the ball over occasionally, but Wilson doesn’t get careless with his passes. We need to win this like we have most of the time.
If Arkansas’s defensive line doesn’t get some of their injured players back (and I don’t think they will) we should be able to run the ball and control the TOP. If we do, we need to score touchdowns and not field goals.
This could come down to a Baylor type of game.
If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
I'll have my heart medication ready ... I've needed it for 10 of the 12 games
oh hail the Purple and White
The offense did great last year against Syracuse. I'm not worried about that side of the ball.
The defense was appalling against one of the worst big boy offenses in the country. Wilson is going to chew the Cats up.

BOYCOTT ESPN!

is my worry. Petrino has a month to concoct a game-plan to shred our defense, with Wilson throwing for 550 yards and the Razorbacks only calling about 4 running plays (all draws). After seeing how Okie State picked apart our pass defense (especially in the medium- and deep-middle of the field) I’m not looking forward to a repeat performance in the Cotton Bowl. Hartman and Zimm better stay awake back there and whatever nickel back we use (Chapman?) has to be stellar that night.
You might want to buff up your crystal ball a bit.
I’m pretty sure a 3 OT game can’t be decided by 4 points. The only margins I can think of for any OT game to end in are 8, 7, 6 or 3 points.*
*I suppose there are some other possibilities, but they would require some really bizarre circumstances and atrocious decision making.
We score a TD with a 2pt conversion
They score a TD, but we pick off a 2pt conversion pass and return it all the way down the field. Is that worth 2 more points?
Yeah, pretty unlikely.
It could happen.
It just requires somebody who, say, has publicly admitted to not knowing the score or game circumstances.
Then, in OT (it probably need to be the second one, to muddy the waters for ol’ Zook) the other team starts with the ball and gets the TD and XP to go up by 7.
Zook, not realizing that his team is now behind, and is also on the back-end of an OT series (meaning he doesn’t get a second chance), decided to kick the field goal on 4th down, because you take the points, right?
Would you like some Freys with that?

(People I never said I was good at fortune telling. I forgot about the requirement to go for 2 after the 2nd overtime.)
