LSU TIGERS VS. ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS BETTING CONCLUSION

These teams have alternated SU wins and losses in each of the past eight meetings in this series, with Arkansas winning the most recent meeting in Baton Rouge on Jan. 15. The teams have alternated covers and non-covers in the past four outings, too, with the Razorbacks covering last time out. The underdog holds a 5-3 ATS advantage in the past eight meetings, too, while the UNDER has cashed in three straight.

While LSU won at Arkansas in its last trip to Fayetteville on March 13, 2021, and the pattern points to an LSU win and cover in this one, Arkansas is just playing much better basketball lately. Go against the trends and hammer Arkansas, who looks to improve to 10-0-1 ATS across the past 11 games.
