It's been a wild couple of weeks for the LSU Football program. Since Brian Kelly's firing, nothing but chaos has surrounded LSU as the program begins its search for a new head football coach. Interim head coach Frank Wilson led the Tigers in his first game this past weekend against Alabama, which resulted in a 20-9 loss to the Crimson Tide. LSU has now lost three games in a row and four of their last five games. The Tigers are desperate to get back into the win column this Saturday against the Arkansas Razorbacks.

LSU owns a 45-23-2 advantage in the all-time series against Arkansas. The two schools have met every season since 1992, and LSU owns a strong 22-11 record in that span, which includes wins in eight of the last nine meetings. The Tigers are hoping that trend continues on Saturday.

So far this season, LSU is 5-4 straight up and 3-6 against the spread. The Tigers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games, and haven't covered the spread since their 20-10 win over South Carolina on October 11. Low-scoring games have been a theme for LSU this season, as the under is 6-3 in LSU's nine games in 2025. The last time LSU took the field at Tiger Stadium, they got blown out by Texas A&M by a score of 49-25. Needless to say, the Tigers are looking for a better performance this time around against the Razorbacks.
On the other side, Arkansas is 2-7 straight up and like LSU, is also 3-6 against the spread. The Razorbacks started the season 2-0 but have dropped every game since. Sam Pittman is gone, and Bobby Petrino has taken over on an interim basis. Unlike LSU, high-scoring games have been common for Arkansas this season, as the over is 7-2 in their nine games.
LSU won last year's matchup between these two teams 34-10 in Fayetteville. The Tigers easily covered the three-point spread while the under 57 cashed with relative ease. Kick-off between the Razorbacks and Tigers is set for 11:45 a.m. CT on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on SEC Network.
