Arkansas vs LA Tech Prediction
Big game for both teams as LA Tech and Arkansas are fighting for bowl eligibility. Arkansas is obviously the more talented team and should win, but laying three touchdowns with a bad defensive team isn’t what I’m excited to do. LA Tech is rough offensively but should be able to find some success against a Razorbacks defense that’s allowing 380 yards a game. LA Tech has covered 3 straight games and is 4-0 ATS this season as a double-digit underdog. Give me the points.
