BTB Betting Pick

The spread for the game is Arkansas -29.5. Given Arkansas averages 86.2 points per game and Jackson State scores 60.5, Arkansas is likely to cover the spread. Jackson State’s low shooting percentages and rebounding stats suggest they will struggle against Arkansas’s better offense.

The over/under for the game is set at 159.5. Arkansas’s high scoring and Jackson State’s fast pace could push the total over. However, Jackson State’s low shooting efficiency may keep the total under. A projected score of Arkansas 90, Jackson State 60 suggests taking the under.
