LSU vs Arkansas Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
Despite being in just fourth place in the SEC, there may not be a team in the country who is hotter or playing better than the Arkansas Razorbacks are right now. Outside of a low-scoring affair with Tennessee (which they still won), the Razorbacks have rattled off five wins in their last six games all against conference opponents, averaging nearly 80 PPG along the way. On top of the confidence they already have from their past success over LSU, they also carry the momentum of beating sixth-ranked Kentucky at home just a few nights ago.
LSU has not had a bad season, with a record of 20-9 overall. However, they have struggled within the conference (8-8) and have been absolutely brutal on the road, losing six of their last seven games. Things remain grim for those of you only interested in their numbers ATS, as the Tigers are just 2-4 in their last six road games and 2-5 in their last seven against Arkansas.
The Razorbacks have a chance to come out and continue their historical dominance over LSU with hopes of climbing another spot or two within the conference. The Tigers, on the other hand, are looking to take advantage of a letdown spot.
The 5.5 can be a tough number to deal with when choosing a side ATS. Instead, we’ll look to the game total, where the over has been common for both teams. While neither team is necessarily the most efficient at shooting the ball, they find ways to score and counter each other’s weaknesses. The Razorbacks have the statistic advantage in most categories, but LSU is top-20 in offensive rebounds and the best team in the country at creating and cashing in on steals. For those reasons, we like the over.
