Auburn vs Arkansas Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. It’s a massive number but I really think that Auburn has earned the respect of being a sizeable favorite at home. The Tigers are the better team here by a fair margin and are one of the best teams in the country according to the selection committee who have already looked at Auburn as the #1 team in the tournament field. Arkansas on the other hand, has been a pretty big disappointment up to this point, and I think this is just a case of the haves vs. the have-nots and I think Auburn has enough to get the win and cover at home in this one. Give me Auburn in a beatdown.
