Oklahoma vs Auburn Prediction
The current betting odds have Auburn listed as a 16 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Auburn has looked great in their games this season with their 20-1 record overall and their 8-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 9-0 home record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has looked good in their games this season with their 16-5 record overall, but their 3-5 conference record has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They haven't been a good road team this year with their 1-3 road record and they have struggled a lot in their first season of being in the SEC, all 5 of their losses this season coming in conference games. They are coming off a big win over Vanderbilt in their last one which they had a big 2nd half in, but they have taken some bad losses on the road this season and didn't even stand a chance when they played Alabama. Now they are facing an even better team as Auburn is ranked 1st overall in the nation and they have been crushing teams on their home court this year. They are coming off a double digit road win over Ole Miss who is ranked and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 13 wins in a row now, the only undefeated team in the SEC too. Oklahoma won't be able to keep up in this game against the best team in the nation on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on Auburn to cover the spread in this game.
