The current betting odds have Arkansas listed as a 13 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arkansas had a very nice start to the season as they are 13-6 overall right now but they have been struggling a lot since hitting conference play as they are only 2-5 in their conference games. LSU hasn't been great themselves in their games lately either as they have a 12-7 record overall but are only 1-6 in their conference games as they have struggled to beat SEC teams this year. LSU has also been terrible in their road games as they are winless through 3 road games while Arkansas has been a very good home team this year with a 10-1 home record. Arkansas is also going to have some confidence here coming off a win in their last game while LSU has just been getting destroyed in every game they play, losing most of their conference games lately by double digits. The best way to place a bet here is on Arkansas to cover the spread in this game.

"I think you have a team that is devastated right now, not from today, but just the last couple of weeks and the totality of where we're at right now. Unfortunately, this is part of the process that we signed up for. We got to continue to work and fight to try and build not only our team but the foundation of the program." - Matt McMahon after his team’s loss against Tennessee in their last game.

"That's one game. I can tell you that the mental makeup of our team right now is better than it was three and a half hours ago. But, as we all know, on Tuesday night, that game is going to have its own theme. It's going to have its own identity. The game in Baton Rouge has nothing to do with how the next game unfolds from a style standpoint. Rosters are different, rotations are slightly different. So you've got to go into each game with adjustments. And I mean, I certainly didn't walk in here today and think that our rotations were going to go the way that they did. The game dictates minutes. The game dictates shot attempts." - Eric Musselman after his team’s win against Ole Miss in their last game.
