Best Bet

Arkansas Razorbacks -3.5 (-110)

7:00PM: Following the same pattern. An SEC team coming off a loss to a better team and now they are a favorite over a ranked team at home. Arkansas has lost 2 games all year, both to ranked teams (at the time Illinois was not ranked but are now), and they lost by double digits in both games. This line is telling you something. I’ll take the home unranked team over a ranked team.
