The No. 8 LSU Tigers (7-2, 5-1 SEC) meet the Arkansas Razorbacks (5-4, 2-3) Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the LSU vs. Arkansas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Tigers surprised Alabama in Death Valley last week, dealing the Crimson Tide a costly 32-31 loss in overtime. It ended the College Football Playoff hopes for Bama, while improving LSU’s ranking to No. 7 in the rankings, and No. 8 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.
LSU has covered 3 games in a row, while going 7-1 SU/6-2 ATS in the last 8 games since that excruciatingly painful 24-23 loss to Florida State on Labor Day weekend in New Orleans to open the season.
Arkansas has not had the season it envisioned at the start, and it is coming off a 21-19 home loss to Liberty in a non-SEC game in Fayetteville last weekend. The Razorbacks are just 2-4 SU/ATS in the last 6 games after a 3-0 SU start. The Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 for Arkansas.

LSU at Arkansas picks and predictions
Prediction
LSU 34, Arkansas 24
Moneyline
LSU (-175) isn’t too terribly priced out of line if you just want to play this game straight up and not worry about the points.
Arkansas has been a thorn in the side of the Tigers over the years, but LSU has won 5 of the last 6 in this series. The Bayou Bengals will be looking for a little revenge, too, after suffering a 16-13 loss on their home field last season. Coach Brian Kelly didn’t experience the sting of that setback, but many of the players certainly remember.
Against the spread
LSU -3.5 (-105) is worth playing, despite the difficult road game.
LSU is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games against teams with a winning overall record, while going 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 inside the SEC.
Arkansas +3.5 (-115) has cashed in just 2 of the last 7 games overall, while hitting at a 1-5 ATS clip in the previous 6 against teams with a winning overall record.
Over/Under
UNDER 63 (-112) is the best play on the board, although it obviously comes with some risks.
The Under is 6-2 in the last 8 games for November, while going 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with LSU, and 5-1 in the last 6 trips to Fayetteville.
Arkansas has hit the Over in 4 of the last 5 games overall, while going 3-1-1 in the last 5 home games for the Hogs. But, again, the Under has dominated in this series.
