first off..........
power rating: Ark State by 4.5 on neutral
Now that I've gotten that outta of the way, I think your friend is correct with this years state team. An overindulgence down in geo state may inflate the wolf as the fav here, home turf could be big for the Cajun.
When assessing this total, may offer some caution. Ark-State tempo is 86 ppg, and LAL is 70.3; so the play clock won't be wound down entirely for either. Overall scoring average per game may be low due to competition played, or lop sided wins LW, this will be for top honors here, as both are undefeated in the beltway.
State has had easy conference sledding for the most part and play much better at home, but struggle with lots of transition and coaching changes galore. LAL got their body clock tuned LW in a Tues Matchup, so they should be ready to roll. Today's local article comments on the Tuesday night weirdo-ness, and coach Anderson has stated the oddity.
Both on national spotlight for best in belt in the early going. LAL at home will be difficult to dispose. The dewpoint is getting higher here in October and the air gets heavy in the evening hours. Pea soup this morning and down in the bayou, it's going to be thick.
Although, I agree with the under being a possibility, have too many concerns with tempo and referee interference. Do however, think state goes down tonight and gets their 1st conference loss, in an unusually played close game. Three would be big for the home dawg here, and she might get there before kickoff.
