The LSU Tigers are a good enough team to justify backing in the underdog role against anybody, but I’d need another bucket to consider them on the road here. The Arkansas Razorbacks have been on a tear as of late, and they’re excellent at home, where they win by an average of 14.8 points and allow 39.1 percent shooting from the field. Arkansas is also 10-6-1 ATS at home and already beat LSU on the road. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk.
