LSU vs Arkansas Prediction

The current betting odds have Arkansas listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arkansas just took a bad loss at home to Liberty in their last game but they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game which is also at home. LSU just pulled off a huge win against Alabama in their last game and that was a massive win for them since it gave them the 1st place spot in their division in the SEC. LSU has a real chance to go to the SEC finals if they can win out the rest of the way, but they have already struggled in a few of their conference games this year and they are coming off their biggest win of the season. That was a very emotional win for them and they are going to be due for a let down in this game. Arkansas hasn't been great this year but they will play hard on their home field here and try to ruin LSU's chances of going to the SEC title game. The best way to place a bet here is on Arkansas to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"I had never beaten Alabama. I was emotional, not for myself, but I was emotional for our team. Because I know what we looked like in January and to see where we are today, that's pretty emotional." - Brian Kelly after his team’s win against Alabama in their last game.
 
 
"Obviously he didn't play as well as what he had. He was busting his butt down there at the end, making plays and trying to get us to overtime. He just didn't throw the ball as well as he normally does." - Sam Pittman after his team’s loss against Liberty in their last game.
