The Razorbacks are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five Wednesday games. The over is 8-1 in Arkansas’ last nine overall.
Meanwhile, the Tigers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven after an ATS win and 0-6 ATS in their last six road games. Missouri is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 overall. 

PICK: I’m probably staying with Missouri. The Tigers are coming off an impressive win over Alabama. Missouri shot 49.2 percent from the floor in that one, out-rebounding the Tide 43-31. The Tigers have played four ranked teams in their last five games, so they should be ready for Arkansas. That said, the Razorbacks have been scoring well over their last five games and should be driving this one the whole way. It’s looking like a pretty interesting matchup, and I think the Tigers can get in there.
