Before making any LSU vs. Arkansas picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $1,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread.

The model knows LSU is elite on defense. Will Wade's team is in the top five of the country in defensive efficiency this season, including top-tier metrics in various categories. LSU leads the country in steal rate at 15.6 percent, and that buoys the Tigers to a top-three mark in the nation in turnover rate at 25.5 percent. LSU also blocks almost 15 percent of shots, a top-10 national mark, and the Tigers are holding opponents to 28.0 percent 3-point shooting this season.

The model also knows Arkansas is good on offense, but the team's defense is even better. The Razorbacks lead the SEC in defensive efficiency, and Arkansas is also No. 2 in the conference in shooting efficiency allowed. Arkansas is holding opponents to 30.0 percent on 3-point shots and 45.3 percent on 2-point shots this season. The Razorbacks are also strongly above-average in turnover rate, defensive rebound rate, steal rate and block rate.

Now, it has set its sights on LSU vs. Arkansas. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 60 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
