The Pick

Arkansas +6.5

The Razorbacks should not be underdogs by this many points in a game of this magnitude. Both teams still have a chance at claiming a share of the regular season title, so motivation should not be a factor in either direction. Arkansas has a slightly better offense according to KenPom’s adjusted efficiency, while Tennessee is a little better defensively in that category. Regardless, this game should come down to the wire.
