Michigan vs Arkansas Prediction
The Arkansas Razorbacks shoot the ball well enough to steal this game, and they’re a hard-nosed team that’s not going to be an underdog often this season. However, Arkansas hasn’t been tested much this season, so the jury is still out for the most part. The Michigan Wolverines are also the more balanced team, and they’re 6-3 ATS on the season. Michigan’s defense is probably the difference in this spot. Arkansas is 2-6-1 ATS on the year. I’ll lay the points with the Wolverines.
