LSU vs Arkansas Prediction

LSU has covered 5 of its last 7 games so despite the losses, the Tigers are competing. The problem is LSU doesn’t do anything spectacular, and it makes this team vulnerable against good teams. Arkansas is an above average SEC team with blowout potential, and it’s a profitable 13-6 ATS on the season. Arkansas is also undefeated at home. Thick line, but there’s a talent gap between these teams. I’ll lay the points with the Razorbacks.
