LSU finding ways to win

It hasn’t always been easy, but LSU has managed to stay unbeaten in the SEC following a 72-57 win at Texas A&M. The Tigers have covered the spread in six of their last seven as well. LSU is now 17-3 on the season, 7-0 in the SEC, 11-0 at home, 11-8-1 against the spread and 11-8 with the over.

College Basketball Betting Trends

Arkansas

The Razorbacks are just 4-9 against the spread in their last 13 games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven Saturday games.

LSU

The Tigers have covered the spread in four straight Saturday games and they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine SEC games.

Prediction:

LSU had to go to OT to pick up a 94-88 win at Arkansas back on Jan. 12. Still, the Tigers covered the spread and they have covered in three straight meetings with Arkansas. The Razorbacks have needed defense to win, but they are giving up over 80 points per game on the road. That will be a problem against this LSU team. The Tigers can score and they have been really strong at home when it comes to defense. LSU won’t overlook this Arkansas team after going to OT just a few weeks ago.

College Basketball Prediction: LSU -8.5
