HawgBeat continues its weekly partnership with BetSaracen, the official mobile sports wagering platform of the Saracen Casino Resort.
Each Friday, we provide an easy guide for all of the lines, player props and specials featured on the BetSaracen app for that week's Arkansas Razorback football game.
This weekend, the Hogs will face off against the FIU Panthers (4-6, 1-6 CUSA) at 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU and streamed on the ESPN app.
Arkansas lost in blowout fashion to Auburn last week, 48-10. The defeat officially ended the Hogs' hopes of making a bowl game, as they can no longer meet the six-win minimum requirement to qualify.
FIU on the other hand still has a chance to reach post-season play if it wins out. Last week, the Panthers were defeated 40-6 by Middle Tennessee State. Led by second-year head coach Mike MacIntyre, FIU has not defeated a Power 5 team.
Here are all the details you need to know for how to watch or listen to Saturday's game, which will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT...

HAWGBEAT'S PICK
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
FIU +29.5 (-110)
Do I really need to explain myself here? Arkansas has played to its competition all season, minus the season opener against Western Carolina. That includes a 28-6 win over Kent State in Week 2, which currently sits with a 1-9 record in the Mid-American Conference.
Based off last week's 10-point performance against Auburn, it seems that the 39-point outing against Florida was an outlier. Combine that with the fact the the Hogs' defense has allowed 36 and 48-point outings in back to back weeks, and I tend to think this is the perfect storm for the Panthers to cover.
