Why Arkansas will beat Oklahoma

  • Arkansas has won each of its last 10 games at Bud Walton Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Oklahoma has lost four of its last five games.
  • Arkansas has won the first half in four of its last five night games at Bud Walton Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Arkansas vs Oklahoma Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this game with just one conference win so far this season, but they are both looking for their second straight win. Arkansas is coming off of a crazy second half comeback against Georgia in their last game, but they have allowed 78 points or more in two of their last three games. The Razorbacks are shooting 46.8% from the field, but they have scored 65 points or fewer in two of their last four games. Oklahoma is coming off of a win against South Carolina in their last game, but they are 0-2 on the road this year with the losses coming by 10 and 28 points. The Sooners have been the better offensive team this year, but I don’t trust them on the road at all. Take Arkansas to get the cover at home.
