Arkansas at South Carolina: Three things to know
- The Razorbacks enter play on a six-game win and cover streak, including an 83-75 win against LSU on Saturday in their most recent outing. The Under has also cashed in each of the past three outings for Arkansas.
- South Carolina hasn’t had a lot to be excited about this season, winning just six games overall. However, the highlight of the season might have come on Saturday when they hammered rival Georgia by a 91-70 count in Athens, easily winning outright as 4.5-point underdogs as the Over (159) connected.
- It’s all Over all the time for both of these sides. The Over is 30-12-1 in the past 43 for Arkansas, dating back to last season, and 16-5 across their past 21 road matches. The Over is 8-3 in the past 11 for the Gamecocks at CLA, and 18-6 in their previous 24 overall.

Arkansas at South Carolina: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Arkansas 83, South Carolina 66
Money line (ML)
Arkansas (-350) will cost you three-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive, even against a conference punching bag like South Carolina (+260).

Against the spread (ATS)
ARKANSAS -6.5 (-120) has been red-hot lately, hearkening back to the days of Nolan Richardson and his “40 Minutes of Hell” for the Razorbacks. This team is fun, up-tempo and, more importantly, they’re ticking off covers on a regular basis. They’re 8-1 ATS across the past nine, while South Carolina +6.5 (+100) is just 1-4 ATS in the previous five despite their upset win last time out.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 156.5 (-110) wagers in Arkansas games was risky business around the holidays, as they were on a 7-0-1 Over run from Dec. 12-Jan. 13. However, it’s been Under tickets cashing in Hogs games lately, going 3-0 in the past three, and 7-4 in the past 11. While Carolina is on a 5-1 Over run, that’s mainly due to their poor defense. Their offense isn’t very good and will struggle against the ranked Hogs.
