The LSU Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks meet in a week 11 SEC college football contest from Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
The Arkansas Razorbacks will be looking to build on a 31-28 win over Mississippi State last time out. KJ Jefferson has thrown for 1,848 yards, 16 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 64.2% passing while also rushing for 433 yards and 5 scores. Trelon Smith leads Arkansas with 476 rushing yards while Raheim Sanders has 460 rushing yards and Dominique Johnson has 416 rushing yards and a team-high 6 rushing TDs this season. Treylon Burks leads the Hogs with 48 grabs for 799 yards and 8 TDs while two more Razorbacks have 200+ receiving yards and another pair have 100+ receiving yards as well this season. On defense, Bumper Pool leads the Razorbacks with 87 total tackles while Montaric Brown has 3 interceptions and Tre Williams has a team-high 6 sacks this season.
The LSU Tigers will be looking to rebound from their 20-14 loss at the hands of Alabama in their last matchup. Max Johnson has thrown for 2,169 yards, 22 touchdowns and 6 interceptions on 60.1% passing while Tyrion Davis-Price has a team-high 731 rushing yards and 6 scores and Corey Kiner has 227 rushing yards as well this season. Kayshon Boutte leads Ole Miss with 38 grabs for 509 yards and 9 TDs while Jack Bech has 366 receiving yards with 33 grabs. Another three Rebels have 200+ receiving yards and another pair after that have 100+ receiving yards as well on the year. On defense, Damone Clark leads Ole Miss with 107 total tackles while BJ Ojulari has a team-high 6 sacks and Maason Smith has 4 sacks as well this season.
Arkansas is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. LSU is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record.
I get the allure of LSU as a home dog, but realistically, as good as LSU are and as well-coached as they are for the time-being, they’ve had trouble stepping up in spots and I think this is another one of those spots. Sam Pittman has the Razorbacks getting respect again and I think the Hogs just do enough to get the win here over a struggling LSU bunch. Give me Arkansas laying the points here.
