Arkansas are 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 games.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Arkansas' last 6 games.
Prediction
I'm seeing a lot of experts going with Vermont for this game. The Gaels have had a great season so far, they only lost 5 games in the season and have some great stats like defensively, they are ranked #10 allowing just 60 ppg but let's clear something, just look at the teams they beat in the season, I don't see any of the teams or at least close to the teams Arkansas have faced and beat like LSU, Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn. Don't get confused, the Razorbacks will win.
PICK: Arkansas -4.5 (-110)
