I would take Arkansas at home over nearly anyone getting points.

We'll either pull the upset, or get blown out.

We did start 17-0 at home last year and whipped a Top 10 Michigan team, it's not like Syracuse will be anything different in BWA, but I still wouldn't touch it.

Inconsistent shooting against that zone and we could get blown out, but like I said, we're usually 'on' at home.

It went down to +7? When I went to bed it was +8.5.

There are lots of stats that back your claims as well. Out of the 345 Division 1 teams last season, Arkansas ranked #7 in Home Court Advantage, playing around 20 points better at home than they did on the road.

Only reason I am not on them tonight is the other numbers I follow have Syracuse as a vastly superior team, and they could get completely overmatched.

Goodluck.
