Little Rock is coming into this contest as a 26 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Little Rock has not been playing that well this season and they are coming off of a blowout loss where they lost by over 30 points but that was their only loss this season by 26 or more points. Arkansas has been having a great season undefeated so far and they are coming into this game off of a win in their last game by over 30 points but that is also their only win by 26 or more points all season. Little Rock is going to try and play a lot better after a game like that and Arkansas has a lot of respect for the coach of this Little Rock team as he is an ex-coach and legend at Arkansas so it is unlikely that they are going to blow them out and embarrass them just out of respect. The best bet to place in this game is on Little Rock to cover the spread here.
