  • Georgia has lost the first half in three of its last four day games against AP-ranked opponents at Stegeman Coliseum.

  • One-hundred-three of Arkansas’ last 105 games against the Southeastern Conference Conference have produced a total of 182 or fewer points.

Arkansas vs Georgia Prediction


Georgia is a solid team that’s dominated at home, but you can argue the wrong team is favored. Arkansas is more efficient on the offensive end, gets stops down the stretch and will have the best player on the floor. Arkansas is also 12-5 ATS on the season, while Georgia is 7-10 ATS on the season. Georgia is also coming off an inexcusable loss to Ole Miss. Georgia has failed to cover 6 of its last 7 games. I kind of like Arkansas to win this game outright. Give me the free bucket on Saturday in this SEC battle.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Arkansas +2.5
