Arkansas vs Texas Prediction
Arkansas is coming off a massive upset win over Kentucky, so the Razorbacks have shown they're capable of playing with the big boys. The problem is we haven't seen it consistently this season. Also, that win could create a letdown spot here, even though Arkansas should be up for Texas regardless. Arkansas has also failed to cover seven of its last 10 games and is 6-14-1 ATS on the season. Texas has seen 10 of its 15 wins come at home and is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight games overall. Texas is simply the more balanced team and has done a better job of stringing together success. The line is somewhat reasonable. I'll roll with the Longhorns on Wednesday night.
