Though LSU has gotten off to slow starts in its last two games, coach Les Miles expects the Tigers (7-4, 3-4 SEC) to be ready mentally for their regular-season finale against Arkansas.

"I can't imagine that there will be a letdown," Miles said. "I hope that they'll have the pent-up frustration and the want to play very strongly. I can't imagine that there will be a letdown. I think this team needs victory.

LSU vs. Arkansas at Little Rock, Nov. 28-The Tigers desperately need to get back on the winning track after losing four of their last seven games following a 4-0 start to the season. The Razorbacks are struggling (4-7 overall, 1-6 SEC), but should go into the game knowing they can compete against the Tigers. LSU has won four of the last five games in the series, but won by only two points in 2005 and five in 2006. The Razorbacks beat last year's national champions in three overtimes in Baton Rouge.

Odds on this game opened at Arkansas +5.  For anyone wanting Arkansas, Sportsinteraction.com had the Razorbacks at +6 ½ odds heading into game time. BetUS.com had LSU at -5 for a great middling opportunity to bet both sides at the two different online sportsbooks.  If LSU wins by 6 points, you'll win both your bets.

The home team has won 7 of the last 10 in this series and the last 3 games have all been won by within 5 points.

The middling opportunity requires a nominal risk for the potential of a very hefty pay day - albeit with high odds.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
