BTB Betting Pick

For the spread pick, Auburn +8.5 (-110) is recommended. Although Arkansas is favored, Auburn’s ability to score 84.3 points per game and their strong free throw game could keep them close. The projected score is Arkansas 88, Auburn 82, which suggests Auburn might cover the spread.

For the over/under pick, taking the under 165.5 (-116) is advised. Both teams have high scoring averages, but their defensive stats show potential to limit each other’s scoring. The projected total of 170 points slightly exceeds the line, but defensive play could reduce scoring.
