Arkansas snapped its losing streak last Saturday as underdogs at home against Alabama, and now the Hogs are primed to do the same when they host Florida.
Our Thursday night college basketball selection is on the Arkansas Razorbacks plus the points at home over Florida.
After dropping four straight games from December 30 to January 14, the Arkansas Razorbacks snapped their losing streak with a 12-point win as a home dog to Alabama. That victory is a huge "buy signal" for me.
One of the things I love to do is play on single-digit home underdogs off a double-digit win as a home underdog. This angle has produced 60% winners over the past 20 college basketball seasons, including a win last Saturday on Drake (+5) over Illinois State.
The Bulldogs had won 88-77 as a home dog against Missouri State, and then followed that big win up with a 69-59 triumph over Illinois State. I look for a similar result by Arkansas here.
In the win over 'Bama, the Hogs trailed by two at halftime before pouring it on in the final 20 minutes at Bud Walton Arena. Listed as two-point home chalk, the Razorbacks were paced by three players reaching double-double status and held a huge advantage on the boards over the Tide, 40-27.
Florida comes into the game tonight off its first SEC triumph of the season, a 72-58 victory at home over LSU. The Gators, 10 ½-point favorites, had five players reach double-digits on the scoring ledger.
Take the home dog Razorbacks.
Free Pick: Arkansas +2 (-110)
