HAWGBEAT’S PICK
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Hogs Boost: Arkansas -8.5 & OVER 47.5 total points (+275)
On paper, this pick doesn’t really add up. After all, the first two weeks of the season have returned middling results for the Razorbacks’ and Cougars’ offenses.
This is college football, however, and what’s on paper rarely translates to the field.
Under the lights on a nationally televised game, I expect a better offensive performance from both teams — especially KJ Jefferson and the Hogs.
Luke Hasz OVER 29.5 receiving yards, OVER 3.5 receptions & OVER 0.5 TD receptions (+475)
One of these days, the Arkansas offense is going to put an emphasis on getting freshman tight end Luke Hasz the football. So, why not this week?
None of BYU’s linebackers have a coverage grade over 65.0 according to Pro Football Focus, so Hasz could have a field day across the middle if given the opportunity.
Last week, Hasz caught three passes for 26 yards. The week before, he made two catches for 19 yards. If he can continue his upward trend, collecting four catches for at least 30 yards is a reasonable ask. The touchdown will be the most difficult part, but Hasz will score one eventually.
At these odds, I think this is too good a bet to pass up.
Dwight McGlothern OVER 1.5 total tackles, OVER 0.5 pass breakups & OVER 0.5 interceptions (+650)
McGlothern only played one snap in Week 2 after suffering from turf toe, but the experienced cornerback is expected to be back for this week’s matchup against BYU, according to head coach Sam Pittman
In his only complete game this season versus Western Carolina, McGlothern made one tackle and an interception.
Last year, McGlothern made at least two tackles in 11 of the 13 games he played in. He collected at least one pass breakup in nine games and an interception in four games. He did all three twice.
