The Final Betting Lines: LSU Football vs. Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 12 Matchup

The LSU Tigers (5-4, 2-4 SEC) will square off against the Arkansas Razorbacks in a Week 12 SEC matchup with a new chapter of the storied SEC rivalry set to unfold.

With new leader Frank Wilson serving as the interim head coach, the Bayou Bengals eye an opportunity to snap a three-game losing skid, but will have a change to the starting lineup.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier aggravated an abdominal injury in practice on Thursday with his status in jeopardy, according to multiple reports, with Michael Van Buren expected to get the start against Arkansas.

"I'm confident in our quarterback room holistically. I think our approach and the things that we have prescribed for them fits their skill set and what we're doing, and I think that both of those guys have embraced it," Wilson said this week.

"They both have gotten ample amount of opportunities and repetitions in practice. They've shown the accuracy, the efficiency that we'll need to move our offense up and down the field in both the run game and the pass game, and the ability to get us in the proper place."

As kickoff inches closer in the Bayou State, the betting lines have shifted once again with the spread shrinking ahead of the Week 12 SEC matchup.

Frank Wilson's Take: Mansoor Delane Must Continue Attacking

"I think he's a very talented young man who understands the task at hand. He is serious about his craft, and he understands and has a desire to get to a certain place. His style of play represents that.

"He came here to improve his draft status; he came here to pursue an opportunity to get into the playoffs, and he has positioned himself in doing the things that are necessary to be able to do so. He practices extremely hard, and it reflects that when he's on the game field. Proud of him, of what he has done. Anxious to see him continue to do it in these next three outings."
