Oklahoma vs Arkansas Prediction

Arkansas should be the favorite due to the rest advantage, and that high-flying offense should have an edge over an Oklahoma team that will play its third game in as many days. However, Arkansas allows teams to hang around with a shaky at best defense, and Oklahoma has found its offense. This is the best Oklahoma has looked all season overall, with 6 straight wins and covers in 8 of its last 10 games. We’ve seen teams get hot come tournament time and the Sooners could be one of those teams. This feels like a back-and-forth high-scoring game. I want the points. Give me Oklahoma.
