  • LSU has had difficulty covering the spread of late, a problem that may get worse before it gets better. The Tigers are just 1-8 ATS in their past nine games against the Arkansas Razorbacks, who host LSU on Saturday. 

    Shark Bites
    • The UNDER is 3-1 in the past 4 games between LSU and Arkansas.
    • LSU is 35-4 SU in its last 39 games after a loss.
    • The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Arkansas's last 7 games at home.

    Give props to LSU’s defense for keeping Alabama scoreless for three quarters last week, but the team's offense was a bloody shambles. Leonard Fournette struggled against the Alabama defense for the second consecutive year, but the Arkansas defense has been just as stingy against the running back. Fournette rushed for a pedestrian 91 yards against the Razorbacks last season, his second-lowest number that year.

    Good luck figuring out the Arkansas defense. Two weeks ago Auburn gashed the Hogs for 543 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, then last week they held Florida to 12 yards on 14 carries. On offense, running back Rawleigh Williams III is vital, as the sophomore has averaged 134.7 rushing yards in wins compared with 49 in losses.
