Analyst Hatfield predicts a close game in the Liberty Bowl, favoring Arkansas Razorbacks over Texas Tech Red Raiders. He highlights the uncertainty surrounding both teams due to coaching changes, transfers, and injuries, leading him to bet on the first quarter under.
Hatfield's best bet: The 1Q Under is the most appealing bet available with Texas Tech missing several starters and both of its coordinators.One of my favorite bowls of the year gets going in the Country Music Capital of the World when the Texas Tech Red Raiders meet the Arkansas Razorbacks in tonight's Liberty Bowl.

My strongest belief about this game is that either the scoring will fall wildly above the posted total or easily short. That's a typical occurrence in these spots, mainly because it's tough to price it.enter without its offensive coordinator (who went to a different job) and defensive coordinator (fired), and all that noise shows up her
