Betting on the LSU Tigers
- Season record: 7-2
- Spread: -3.5
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (-165)
- Over/Under: 63
With two more wins over conference opponents, one of them the Razorbacks, LSU would be crowned in the SEC West and would go on to play Georgia in the Conference Final.
To do so, it is important that the Tigers maintain the great momentum that led them to dispatch Ole Miss and Alabama, especially on offense, where the key has been their powerful ground game, which totaled 185 yards against the excellent Crimson Tide defense and helped them dominate the possession clock of the game. Keeping the ball with them has been a fundamental weapon to tire their opponents and thus strike at the right moment.
Defensively, the Tigers allowed a combined 51 points to two of the league’s most potent offenses, while in their first four wins, no team scored more than 17 points on them. However, they have played with fire in their last few games, especially defending the ground attack, the Razorbacks’ main weapon.
Betting on the Arkansas Razorbacks
- Season record: 5-4
- Spread: +3.5
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (+135)
- Over/Under: 63
Last season Arkansas defeated LSU in overtime and this year they are looking to repeat the same not only to give their division rival a licking, but to keep their bowl hopes alive and cut their three-game home losing streak.
The Razorbacks started the season very well with three consecutive victories and ranked among the best in the nation, but gradually fell apart and must take advantage of their ground attack to get back on track. Arkansas is 10th in the nation in average ground yards per game with 235.3, precisely where the Tigers have the most trouble defending.
However, Arkansas has not been helped much by its good offense, having a defense that concedes 30.7 points per game. In addition, they are among the worst in the circuit at stopping the aerial attack of their opponents, and they are not very reliable on the ground, something that must be improved considering that LSU, like them, is characterized by its excellent ground offense.
JefeBet Prediction
LSU comes into this game as the favorite after achieving excellent wins over Ole Miss and Alabama. However, it will only be their third away game and this one will be played at noon, which is not very positive for one of the keys to their game, which is attacking on the ground and dominating the possession clock.
But the Razorbacks haven’t played very well at home either. They have three defeats in a row in this condition, and their defense has been quite deficient for what was expected of them. On the ground they will hurt the Tigers, but they will also suffer.
Prediction: Over.
