If the LSU Tigers are going to have any hope of fulfilling their preseason championship dreams, they will have to win out. Week one brought a College Football odds loss to the Florida State Seminoles that got the championship ride off track before it left the stations. Last week brought a potential trap at Mississippi State. But LSU blew up the trap with a resounding payout. Now comes another potential landmine against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Tiger Stadium. But as they say, there is nothing like a Louisiana Saturday night.

Arkansas Razorbacks Team Overview
Last game, the Arkansas Razorbacks lost 38-31 against the BYU Cougars as 9-point home favorites. The game went over the online betting total of 48. Arkansas has a record of 2-1 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 2-1 over/under the total. Arkansas ranks 82nd for total offense, 83rd for passing, 74th for rushing, and 33rd for scoring. Defensively, they rank 11th overall, 56th against the pass, 5th against the rush, and 48th for points allowed.
Namely, Kedon Slovis threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns. Including one to Chase Roberts, who made a one-handed catch with eight minutes left. That TD gave BYU a win against Arkansas on Saturday night. Arkansas drove inside the BYU 20 in the final 20 seconds. But the drive stalled with four penalties, including one on the final play to end the game.
To summarize, Arkansas committed 14 penalties, resulting in 125 yards against. The biggest came with about 1:20 left when KJ Jefferson ran up the middle for 15 yards to get inside the BYU 20 the first time. However, the play ultimately didn’t count because of a holding call. Thus, Arkansas was forced back to the BYU 49 before attempting a final charge. Jefferson was 25-of-36 passing for 261 yards with a touchdown, an interception, and two fumbles.
LSU Tigers Team Overview
Last game, the LSU Tigers won 41-14 against the Mississippi State Bulldogs as 9.5-point home favorites. The game went over a total of 54. LSU has a record of 2-1 straight up, 2-1 against the spread, and 3-0 over/under the total. LSU ranks 6th for total offense, 9th for passing, 34th for rushing, and 10th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 61st overall, 74th against the pass, 75th against the rush, and 71st for points allowed.
A lopsided loss to start the season had No. 14 LSU looking to re-establish itself. Specifically, LSU seeks to be a championship contender out of the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers looked every bit the part on Saturday. Malik Nabers set career highs with 13 catches for 239 yards and scored two touchdowns. At the same time, Jayden Daniels ran for two scores and set a school record for passing accuracy as 14 LSU beat Mississippi State.
To summarize, Daniels threw for 361 yards on 30 of 34 passing. That is the best completion percentage (88.2%) ever for an LSU quarterback in a game with at least 25 attempts. Also, he rushed 15 times for 64 yards before he came out midway through the fourth quarter with the lead at 41-7.
