Baylor vs Arkansas Prediction

The Arkansas Razorbacks are talented and good enough defensively to win this Game, but I just expect Baylor to rebound from their embarrassing showing against Gonzaga. A Game like that not only makes Baylor battle tested, but the result in ugly fashion should be the motivating factor to bounce back. Baylor entered the season as a title contender and cant afford to start the season with two losses. The public is pounding Baylor, but I’m leaning in that direction as well. Give me Baylor and the chalk.
