Not only does Darius Acuff Jr. lead the Razorbacks in points per game, averaging 20.8, but he's also leading the team in assists, averaging 6.3, which means that if Arkansas scores, there's a great chance the ball has touched Acuff Jr's hands.
Auburn vs. Arkansas Prediction and Pick
I've been betting against Auburn quite a bit lately, as I don't think the Tigers are as good as the betting market evaluates them, and I'm going to do the same thing in this spot tonight. Arkansas has been the far better team, despite getting blown out in the first meeting between these two teams.
Arkansas ranks 19th in effective field goal percentage and 122nd in defensive efficiency. Auburn ranks 120th and 255th in those two metrics.
The Razorbacks also do a great job of not turning the ball over, committing a turnover on just 12.6% of their possessions, which is the fifth-lowest mark in the country.
I'll lay the points with Arkansas in this one.
Pick: Arkansas -5.5 (-120)
