The LSU Tigers (2-3) will meet the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-4) on Saturday after a COVID-19 scare almost wrecked another LSU game.

This time, Arkansas had an outbreak of COVID-19, and as late as Thursday, head coach Sam Pittman wasn’t even sure the Razorbacks would meet the SEC roster minimum of 53 players due to players either testing positive or in quarantine.

Regardless, Arkansas will likely be short-handed even though the game will be played.

Therefore, LSU is now a 1.5-point favorite, according to BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.
