Prediction
LSU 56, Arkansas 7
Moneyline (?)
There was no moneyline at the time of publishing due to the sizeable spread. Any bet on a simple outright victory for LSU wouldn’t return a worthwhile profit.
Against the Spread (?)
It’s rare when conference rivals find themselves with this massive of a point spread (43.5).
With Arkansas having lost by 41 points to both Auburn and Alabama, it makes sense to have a number like this. LSU has a grip on the No. 1 spot in the playoff rankings, but with Ohio State and Clemson on their heels, they will need to have a resounding win to hold the top spot. Lay the points with the TIGERS (-43.5, -110).
New to sports betting? A wager on LSU to win by 44 or more points would return a profit of $9.09.
Over/Under (?)
This one is a little more difficult because the question becomes how willing are the Tigers going to be to keep their starters in the game and run up the score? The projected total is 69.5 (O: +100, U: -120).
Considering the second-team defense for LSU can shut down the Razorbacks and we project them to score only seven points, LSU will have to score nine touchdowns to hit the over. They’re capable of it, but not likely to hit it if they pull their starters. Take the UNDER (-120).
