And against a gauntlet of a schedule, no less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six of the Razorbacks&#8217; seven games this month have been against Quad 1-A opponents, as measured by BartTorvik.com. Arkansas went 3-3 in those games, and all three losses came by eight or fewer points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the wins came against the Texas Longhorns, who Arkansas will see again tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arkansas beat Texas, 78-70, on the road on Feb. 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The score was misleadingly close. Arkansas took the lead less than four minutes into the game and never relinquished it, leading by as many as 23 in the second half.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas is 0-3 in Quad 1-A road matchups, as well as 2-5 in SEC road games this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other parlay picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BYU moneyline (-200):<\/strong> BYU kicked off its Big 12 schedule right this season, blasting the Arizona State Sun Devils, 76-56, on New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of time has passed since then, but the Sun Devils haven&#8217;t done anything to change my perception of them. I expect another win for BYU in the rematch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arizona State (13-14, 4-12 Big 12) has lost six of its past seven games.

They have the fourth-highest effective FG% in NCAA Division I (57.4%), and they attempt 48.2% of all shots from 3-point range (14th-most in D-I).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Utah State\/Boise State over 147.5 points <\/strong><\/strong>(-143):<\/strong> If you&#8217;re staying up for this 10:30 p.m. tip-off, expect to see some offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When Utah State and Boise State last matched up (Jan. 11), they both shot better than 50.0% from the floor in a game that totalled 160 points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Overs are collectively 28-23-2 for these teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both KenPom and Bart Torvik are projecting 155 total points for tonight&#8217;s matchup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a classic case of the offences simply being better than the defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to KenPom, both teams rank inside the top 50 for adjusted offensive efficiency \u2014 and <em>outside<\/em> the top 50 for adjusted defensive efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of shots were falling in their first matchup of the year, but if that&#8217;s not the case tonight, Utah State and Boise State have proven they can rack up points at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams rank inside the top 70 teams in free throw attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 1:35 p.m. ET 02\/26\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arkansas Razorbacks are on the March Madness bubble, and I&#8217;m backing them to win tonight as part of a +326 parlay.
