Arkansas Razorbacks vs Troy Trojans: Prediction
The Over is 7-0 in the Trojans' last seven games on Monday amd 5-0 in their last five away games. Both teams are offensively in the top half of the league and defensively decent as well. The two teams have met twice before in the league, with the Razorbacks winning by 15 points in their last meeting.
They will now meet for the first time five years, but the Trojans could have a tough time expressing themselves offensively. The difference between the quality of both conferences is huge, and the fact that the Razorbacks are playing at home gives them an advantage.
