Missouri Tigers vs Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 02/22/25

Missouri is one of the hottest teams in the SEC right now and on Saturday it will be looking to continue its winning streak as it gets ready to face Arkansas. Missouri is coming off a big performance against #4 Alabama, winning 110-98. The Tigers shot 60.3% from the field and got to the free-throw line 47 times, which played a critical role in their victory. They will be looking to take that momentum into Saturday’s matchup. Despite losing 3 of their last 4, Arkansas had a chance to knock off Auburn, Texas A&M and Alabama. Tonight, Missouri enters as a slight favorite and I think it will be able to cover this low spread.

On the season, Missouri is averaging 83.7 points per game while giving up 70.1. Mizzou shoots 48.5% from the field and is holding opponents to just 42.8% from the field. As for Arkansas, it is averaging 75.5 points per game and has a comparable defense to Missouri, only giving up 68.8 points per game. ARK is shooting 46.5% from the field and opponents are at 41.6%. I think a big part of this game is going to come down to ball control. Missouri will apply the same type of pressure to Arkansas like it did to ‘Bama, forcing the Tide to turn the ball 14 times. That’s something the Hogs cannot do if they want to keep this game close. I think this Missouri team is clicking very well right now and it’s going to be tough for Arkansas to win even at home, which makes Missouri my best bet of the day.
