Key Betting Tip:

*The last six games in this series were won by 8 points or less with four won by 3 or less.

The home team has won the last three in this series, but more importantly none of the last 6 in this series were won by more than 8 points.  The other 5 games were won by 5 or less points.  Something else to keep in mind, the 7-point win came last year and was courtesy of underdog Arkansas. 

LSU should win this game as Arkansas tends to be a bit overrated in the opinion of Gambling911.com.  Nevertheless, the games between these two teams have always been played close in recent years and we are talking two very solid schools; LSU of course ranked number one but the Razorbacks are no slouches, ranked at number 3 in the nation.  This should be an absolutely insane game!!!!

Another stat that stands out:  LSU is just 5-13 Against The Spread in their last 18 games as a home favorite of 10.5 or greater.

We like Arkansas to cover here but a small bet on the Razorbacks to win outright on the money line might make sense as well.  That’s because the payout is $37.50 for every $10 bet so the risk vs. reward is good here. 

Again, our official play here is on Arkansas as the +14 point underdog.  We do think LSU will win outright here but betting the Arkansas money line for a small amount does have value.

This game will be played on Friday.
