Arkansas State vs. Arkansas Pick
Spread Pick for Arkansas State vs. Arkansas Pick
- Arkansas Razorbacks -23.5 (5 units)
Despite being in-state foes, this is the first time these programs are facing off and the advantage has to be with the Razorbacks. This is going to be an intriguing matchup, but Taylen Green has been far and away the best offensive player for either team. Arkansas has been stellar defensively and should be able to overwhelm the Arkansas State offensive line to apply pressure in the pocket. All in all, take the Arkansas Razorbacks to cover the spread in their own building.
Over/Under Pick for Arkansas State vs. Arkansas
- Under 62.5 (4 units)
The Razorbacks are looking to step up and while these offenses have looked outstanding, the defenses are going to be able to limit the amount of points.

Go with under 62.5 total points to score here.
