Louisiana Tech vs Arkansas Prediction
Arkansas comes into this matchup trying to bounce back from their two-game losing streak, but they did play pretty well last week against Texas. The Razorbacks need to get this win to make a bowl game, as their last game will not be easy against Missouri. Louisiana Tech has lost two of their last three games and while their offense has been below average, their defense has been great. I do think Arkansas will win this game easily, but I question whether they will put together a full 60 minutes vs. pulling their starters to rest for Missouri. Take Louisiana Tech with the points.
