Pacific at Arkansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Arkansas 75, Pacific 59
Moneyline
Arkansas (-10000) would set you back 100 times your potential return, which means you must risk $100 for every $1 won. It shouldn’t have to be stated, but that’s a crazy bet, and backing such gigantic favorites is a losing long-term better strategy.
PASS.
Against the spread
So far this season, Arkansas -24.5 (-115) has had tremendous difficulty at the offensive end. While PACIFIC +24.5 (-105) is by no means a power, it is catching quite a few points playing against a Razorbacks team which has looked like it is shooting at a bucket with a lid on it during the early going.
Let’s be clear, Arkansas is going to win this game, and likely win it handily. But, this is an awfully big number, too. Back the underdogs.
Over/Under
UNDER 147.5 (-110) is the play in Arkansas games until further notice.
The total has gone low in each of its 3 games to date, as the Hogs are hitting just 46.3% from the field, and a dismal 30.6% from behind the arc. Arkansas is leaving a lot of points on the floor, too, hitting just 65.8% from the free-throw line.
Until Arkansas solves its offensive woes, keep backing the Under in its games.
