The Commodores are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 Saturday games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog. The over is 6-0 in Vanderbilt’s last six overall and 7-1 in their last eight Saturday games. 

Meanwhile, the Razorbacks are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games and 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games versus a team with a winning home record. The over is 23-6-1 in Arkansas’ last 30 overall and 11-2 in their last 13 road games. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Arkansas. The Razorbacks have been scoring well over their last five games, with 74 or more points in four of them (the outlier being the 90-59 blowout loss to a red-hot Alabama team). Vanderbilt has put up a few good totals themselves lately, but seem to fold against tougher teams. Should be the Razorbacks’ cover to take.
