LSU at Arkansas picks and predictions

forecast

LSU 28, Arkansas 27

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Razorbacks have consistently won at home, but against a team like LSU (-145), they will be underdogs. Arkansas has only had one game within a 10-point margin this season, a 70-0 win in the opener on Aug. 29. Games are close and this one should be no different.

Against the spread

BET ARKANSAS +3 (-120).

Arkansas is 2-0 at Razorback Stadium this season and 1-0 ATS as a home underdog. The Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS this season and have played three straight games. Arkansas' defense has been its strength, holding all three conference opponents to 21 points or fewer, including just 14 to a dynamic Tennessee attack.

LSU has only played 2 conference games and won both by 3 points. It is 0-2 ATS away from home. The Tigers are just 2-4 ATS this season. They haven't impressed bettors, and considering how poorly they've played on the road, that trend may not change in Week 8.

Back ARKANSAS +3 (-120).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 56.5 (-105).

The Tigers have lost in 3 straight games and are 2-4 O/U this season. They have allowed 17 or fewer points in two of their last three games.

This matchup should be played at Arkansas' pace, just like all three of the Razorbacks' SEC games. They went down in all three conference games, scoring between 17 and 24 points while allowing either 14 or 21. Arkansas has it figured out defensively, and that should continue Saturday.

Back UNDER 56.5 (-105).
