The Arkansas Razorbacks should have some success throwing the football against the LSU Tigers on Friday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LSU travels to Fayetteville for the first time since 1992, as it has a chance to reach the 10-win mark for the sixth time in eight years under Les Miles.\u00a0 The Tigers scored 21 fourth-quarter points in a 41-35 come-from-behind victory over the Mississippi Rebels as 19-point home favorites last week.\u00a0 Defensively, the team surrendered more than 300 yards passing for the second consecutive game, which could prove to be an important factor in this Southeastern Conference matchup.\u00a0 LSU is 8-4 ATS on the road the last two-plus seasons, while going UNDER the total all three times in that situation during the 2012 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Tigers are worthy of being double-digit road favorites on the college football odds page, as they\u2019ve compiled a 38-2 record when scoring 20 or more points since the 2009 season.\u00a0 LSU ranks second in the conference with a plus-13 turnover margin, while it has had the same offensive line start the past five games.\u00a0 The team holds a 35-20-2 advantage in this particular series, which includes a 41-17 victory as 10.5-point home favorites last year.<\/p>\n

Arkansas is set to wrap up a disappointing 2012 season, as it returns home after suffering back-to-back losses on the road to the Mississippi State Bulldogs and South Carolina Gamecocks.\u00a0 The Razorbacks have had 18 players make their first collegiate start this season, which is the most in the conference and sixth-highest total nationally.\u00a0 Defensively, the unit surrendered 505 yards last week, which was the fourth time this season it has allowed 500-plus in that category.\u00a0 Arkansas is 0-6 ATS when playing a team with a winning record this year, with the OVER going 4-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Razorbacks rank third in the SEC and 25th in college football in averaging 296.3 passing yards per game, with quarterback Tyler Wilson completing 23 of 29 passes for 225 yards against the Bulldogs.\u00a0 He sits just 87 yards behind Ryan Mallett in becoming the school\u2019s all-time passing leader.\u00a0 Fellow senior Cobi Hamilton is his favorite target, as he\u2019s just three receptions short of the career record held by Jarius Wright.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
