Black Friday Best Offer Odds: Arkansas Razorbacks vs. LSU Tigers

Arkansas Razorbacks face LSU Tigers tonight at Tiger Stadium and the betting game is televised on CBS.

Don’t look now but this afternoon’s winner is just a conference title win away from New Orleans and a date in the BCS National Title Game.

Arkansas’ run-it-up rout of Mississippi State has them comfortably ahead of the rest of the 1-loss teams in the BCS Poll and a win on the road against LSU would put Georgia on the minds of Boss Hog and company.

Let’s not get that far ahead of ourselves – not with the unbeaten Bayou Bengals providing today’s opposition and ‘Miles’ ahead in every poll.

The Razorbacks do get a break with this game being played in daylight as the Tigers are 50-4 SU at night under Les Miles and only 23-13 when catching a tan.

And while the SU outcome will most likely come down to turnovers (LSU is 34-4 SU, including 18-0 SU last 18, when they win the turnover battle under Miles), the ATS result will not.

Yes, the Tigers currently lead the nation with a +17 net in takeaways but they are just 1-7 ATS as favorites with conference revenge and a carefree 0-7 ATS in Last Home Games.

And with Miles just 3-17-2 ATS at home in conference play off a SU win with LSU, that carefree better turn to careful, especially when battling Bobby Petrino 6-1 ATS as a dog off an ATS win versus 1.000 opposition.

And what has to make the Hatter ‘Mad’ is Arky’s 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS mark in this series since 2007 (2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS since the arrival of Petrino).

While we’d love to call for the outright upset, we’ll just say ‘See Ya Later’ to the winner of this one – as in January 9th in the Superdome and ‘Hello’ to the green stuff. The Tigers by a whisker.

LSU is favorite as 14-points against the Razorbacks, and the game's total is sitting at 52.
