Texas Tech vs Arkansas Prediction

I guess Texas Tech is getting the edge because the game is in Texas, but I’m grabbing the bucket with Arkansas. You can argue Arkansas is the better team, and it’s 6-3 ATS on the season. Texas Tech is 3-5-1 ATS on the season and has been outplayed in its biggest games of the season against Purdue and Illinois. Arkansas just beat Louisville, and it gave Duke and Michigan State a run earlier in the season. Arkansas shoots the ball better and is capable of digging in defensively. Kind of feels like the wrong team is favored, but I’m not asking questions. Give me Arkansas and the bucket.
