Louisville vs Arkansas Prediction
Louisville comes into this matchup looking to stay undefeated on the season, but this is going to be a tough road game. The Cardinals are shooting 48% from the field and they have scored at least 87 points in four of their last five. Arkansas had their winning streak snapped against Duke last time out, but they actually played pretty well in that game. The Razorbacks are shooting 49% from the field and they have scored at least 84 in three of their last five. I do think Louisville is the slightly better team, but I think Arkansas is going to play a complete game for a huge home win.
