Southern Utah Thunderbirds vs Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/03/25

This is a typical case of SEC bias against mid-major opposition. Back the Hogs here and you are paying a premium to get behind them before we go any further. Arkansas made a run in March Madness last season which was punctuated by a defeat of #2 seed St. John’s in a Calipari vs. Pitino classic. Meanwhile the T-Birds, well, they were lurking in the WAC somewhere and struggling to get past the likes of Utah Tech.

If you could point out on a map where Southern Utah plays or even name their mascot, that would be a Daily Double question on Jeopardy. Bottom line, SUU has virtually no market recognition here while the Razorbacks are a side that may know for their coach and conference affiliation. Arkansas may cover this number and clobber the Thunderbirds, but it’s tough to get behind that notion in the first game of the season where kinks get worked out and inefficiencies still need to be tweaked. Grab the points with the guests.

Southern Utah vs Arkansas prediction: Southern Utah +24.5 (-110) available at time of writing. Playable to +24.
