Why the Arkansas Razorbacks Are a Lock in the 2022 First Round of NCAA Tournament

The Arkansas Razorbacks are priced at just -215 on the moneyline to win outright against Vermont and Gambling911.com sees some amazing value here. 

Why We Love Arkansas Here

In non-conference games this season the Razorbacks are 11-2 Straight Up.  Since 2016 they have maintained a win percentage of 80.6% in non-conference games and as favorites.

That is attractive enough but here we have a very good team going up against one that has never beaten a ranked opponent, at least not since 2003.

The Catamounts are 0-12 Straight Up since 2003. 

The Razorbacks made it to the Elite Eight last season. 

Arkansas also managed to knock off Auburn this season when the Tigers were ranked number one in the nation.

They'll come into this first round game with a solid group of experienced players: JD Notae (senior), Stanley Umude (senior) and Au’Diese Toney (senior).

The Hogs get a break here as this line should be -9 and books have them at -5 instead.  This has brought down the moneyline price.  Some of this has to do with a slight home court advantage.  The game is being played in Buffalo.

We're just hot on Arkansas for this game but if you like them to go all the way, the payout is $4500 on a $100 bet.
