Game outlook
Arkansas is on the road playing LSU at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center stadium on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 9:00pm EST. Arkansas -5.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Arkansas -4.
The LSU Tigers host the Arkansas Razorbacks on Wednesday night at Pete Maravich Assembly Center in the SEC opener for both teams. Neither of these teams have lost a game so far this season, with Arkansas riding a seven-game winning streak and LSU on a six-game winning streak. Last year, Arkansas swept the season series, winning all three showdowns, including the conference tournament, so LSU will definitely be seeking revenge. No doubt, this will be one of Wednesday's most compelling games, and it will have a profound effect on the SEC race when all is said and done.
The Razorbacks are on the move
Arkansas is off to a quick start this season, but Wednesday's matchup is their first true road game. As the season has progressed, the schedule has become less and less impressive, with the lone loss coming to Creighton in Hawaii. While their most impressive win so far appears to be over San Diego State, they certainly have more to prove. This team has competed in the SEC for the last few seasons. With hopes high for another crucial conference run, they know they have to start with a win. They can't take this matchup lightly, on either side of the ball, especially after winning three games against LSU last season.
Injury concerns have plagued this team so far this season, and while the wins have continued to pile up, it might get more challenging over the next month. The season has been ruled out for Trevon Brazile (knee), a key transfer addition. Also, highly-touted freshman Nick Smith Jr. (knee) continues to miss time, further depleting their depth.
