Central Arkansas vs Arkansas Prediction 11/13/2026 Today’s College Basketball Picks

Central Arkansas vs Arkansas Prediction

Arkansas is obviously the more talented team and capable of a blowout, but this is a lot of points for a look-ahead spot. The Razorbacks have Indiana on deck and are also a team that recently played Virginia. Overall, Arkansas is still a new-look team, still trying to build chemistry, and isn’t rolling enough to expect wins by large margins. Arkansas has failed to cover four of its last five games.

This game means far more to Central Arkansas as it’s a rare chance to measure itself up against the big boy in the state. I expect a far more motivated road team. We’ll see if that leads to a somewhat competitive game. Either way, I want the points with the road dog if forced to pick this spot. Arkansas hasn’t had much covering success lately, and I question the motivation of this group given the schedule spot.
