Betting on the Arkansas Razorbacks

Arkansas is gunning for its third win in a row when it takes on the Bears in Waco. Although they are below .500 in conference play, the Razorbacks have gathered ample momentum following consecutive wins against SEC rivals, Ole Miss Rebels and LSU Tigers – both at home. Arkansas’ defense has picked up of late, as it’s not allowed more than 57 points in any of its last two games.
The Hogs even held LSU to just 40 points in a 20-point win last Tuesday. Arkansas is giving up only 65.0 points per game this season while scoring 75.1 points per outing, for a differential of +10.1 – 26th-best in the country. Arkansas is 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games.
Betting on the Baylor Bears
- Regular Season Record: 15-5
Baylor is looking to keep its surge going, as the Bears are winners in all of their last five outings. The last time they were on the floor, the Bears took down the reigning national champions Kansas Jayhawks on Monday in Waco, 75-69. Baylor’s immense offense was on full display against Kansas, with the Bears finishing with a scorching 126.3 eFG%, while also going 9/30 from behind the arc.
The Bears are 20th in Division 1 with 79.4 points per game and 27th with 1.146 points per possession. They have three players averaging at least 14 points this season, and that group is led by Keyonte George, who is producing 16.9 points per outing. Baylor is 4-0-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
JefeBet Prediction
Baylor is playing at home again so that’s a big plus for them. Moreover, the Bears have all the confidence in the world after just beating Kansas. Their offense will be lights out versus Arkansas. A win and a cover here for Baylor.
Prediction: Baylor wins by 5 points.
