The 2:00 PM ET Saturday game between the #19 Michigan Wolverines (15-4) and the Arkansas Razorbacks (13-5) looks to be a competitive one, and it seems that gamblers are having some trouble figuring out whom to put their money on.
We’ll take a look at both college basketball teams and see if we can’t bring up some trends and statistics to make it easier to pick the correct squad.

The road-team Wolverines are currently 1-point favorites, and roughly 55% of tracked gamblers are making their bets on Michigan despite their 0-3 record in true road games.
Arkansas is a strong 13-1 at home this season, while these two teams have combined to go over the total in 13 games and under in another 11.
The total for Saturday’s matchup currently sits at 137 after debuting at 136.5.
There have been no recent head-to-head meetings between Michigan and Arkansas, making this game even more of a head scratcher to figure out.
The Wolverines have won 8 of their last 10 games but they dropped both road clashes during that span.
Arkansas was on a roll earlier this month but has since dropped 2 of their last 3, although it is once again worth noting that the only losses were the only road games played during that span.
The Wolverines have gone under in the total in 4 straight games and have been playing in some low-scoring affairs while shooting poorly during this stretch.
Arkansas has been shooting well lately while not playing a ton of defense, but that hasn’t stopped the Razorbacks from going under the total in 3 straight.
The Razorbacks score more points this year but don’t shoot nearly as well as Michigan, while the Wolverines allow fewer points but allow shooters to connect on a higher percentage than Arkansas.
