The total has gone OVER in 10 of LSU's last 13 games.

Arkansas are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Arkansas' last 5 games.

Prediction

When these teams face off the games are so close most of the time. In the last 10 head to head the average score has been 82.50-81.20 favoring LSU, so expect a similar result. With this having said I'm taking LSU with the points, I think their defese will prevail and help the team to win the game or cover the spread at least.
