Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.

Arkansas has fared very well against its non-conference slate since Sam Pittman took the reigns, and this game lines up to continue that trend.

Since 2021, the Razorbacks are 5-2 against the spread when facing opponents outside the SEC, with both losses coming against teams from the FCS (led UAPB 45-0 at half). Over that same span, Arkansas has been favored by more than a touchdown just three times, covering each with relative ease.

Looking at this game more specifically, the Razorbacks are simply the better team despite Liberty's No. 23 ranking (AP). The defense showed some growth last week against Auburn and Kendal Briles' offense is peaking at the right time.

While I believe the more talented team will run away late after a close first half, I did opt to buy the point at a -125 price in order to keep the Hogs within two touchdowns.

This total is one that doesn't quite make sense to me as it's screamed down a point and a half despite much of the public clamoring to the over.

Now, a potential backup quarterback situation from Liberty's side may be contributing to that, but I don't know that it matters all that much to the end result.

The bottom line is that the Razorbacks are off to a 5-3 start in spite of the defensive performance, not because of it. This team is allowing 31.9 points per game, and the total has gone over 61.5 in four of five wins this season (5-3 overall).

On the other side, Liberty has largely put up points when faced with bad defenses. Scoring more than 30 in four games of their own, I think this one has the potential to fly over - especially if you think Arkansas will wind up victorious.

Matt Landers has emerged as a top option for KJ Jefferson within the Arkansas offense. Hauling in eight and four catches for 99 and 115 yards respectively, Landers has soared over the 50.5 number in consecutive weeks and seems primed to do so again against a lesser-talented Liberty squad.
