As far as trend go, the Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record., but just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 meetings in the series. The tigers have been an average offensive squad this year, ranking 70th in total yards, 109th in passing, 29th in rushing and 58th in scoring (30.8 ppg). The defense has been solid as always, ranking 13th in yards allowed, 5th vs the pass, 58th vs the run and 5th in points allowed (16.3 ppg).
The Arkansas Razorbacks have come close this year, but they are still seeking their first win in the SEC under Bielema.

The Razorbacks are 8-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, but the favorite is 2-5 ATS the last 7 in the series. Arkansas is a solid offensive squad, ranking 38th in total yards, 90th in passing, 17th in rushing and 24th in scoring (35.9 ppg). The defense for the Hogs has been rather average, ranking 42nd in yards allowed, 65th vs the pass, 36th vs the run and 49th in points allowed (24.7 ppg).
Pick: Gonna go with the Hogs to finally break through at get their first SEC win for coach Bielema. This could be a bad spot for LSU as they come in off a hard fought OT loss to Alabama last week, in a game they should have won. Some of the win should be out of their sails for this one and while they were battling the Tide, the Razorbacks were sitting at home with the week off. The Tigers should be a bit beat up and tired after last weeks war and now to face a Hogs offense that will wear you down has to be tough.
