Final betting lines for Georgia vs. Auburn

Auburn will look to pull off a massive upset in Athens.

It is nearly time for one of Auburn’s biggest games every season.

The Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs are set to square off in the 127th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry at 2:30 p.m. CT in Samford Stadium.

Auburn (3-2, 1-1 SEC) is looking to rebound from a 21-17 loss to the LSU Tigers where they let a 17-0 lead slip through their fingers.

Georgia is 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the SEC but has not looked nearly as dominant as expected in their past two games. They trailed Missouri by 10 in the fourth last quarter but were able to come out on top and will look to get back on track against Auburn.

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Longhorns: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma Sooners head into the Red River Showdown as underdogs to face the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl.

The Oklahoma Sooners play the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 11 a.m. and can be seen on ABC.

The Oklahoma Sooners have failed to cover the spread in three of their last four games, including the 30-point win over Kent State. Oklahoma’s defense has struggled each of the last two weeks against Kansas State and TCU, allowing nearly 100 points and more than 1,100 yards.

After two underwhelming performances, the Sooners defense could use a solid performance.

The biggest issue facing Oklahoma in this game is who starts at quarterback. It feels unlikely that Dillon Gabriel will be available. That means Oklahoma will be turning to Davis Beville, General Booty, or Nick Evers. Those three have zero career starts and would be making their first start in the Red River Showdown.

With so much unknown in this one, it’s hard to feel great about the Oklahoma Sooners’ chances.

Oklahoma vs. Texas injury report:

Oklahoma

[autotag]T.D. Roof[/autotag], LB: Elbow (out for season).

Shane Whitter, LB: Shoulder  (out for season).

Dillon Gabriel, QB: Doubtful (concussion)

Billy Bowman, S: Doubtful

Texas

Quinn Ewers, QB: Probable (shoulder).

Advice and prediction

The Red River Showdown regularly creates some surprises, but given the quarterback situation and the poor play from the defense, it’s hard to imagine the Oklahoma Sooners keeping this one within nine points.

Quinn Ewers’ return bolsters a Texas offense that’s been playing well with Hudson Card at quarterback.

Oklahoma’s defense will play better and keep the game close in the first half before Texas takes over in the second half and finishes with the double-digit win.

Take Texas minus the points and the under.

Prediction: Texas 34, Oklahoma 24

Record against the spread and O/U in 2022: 5-5.

No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners vs. TCU Horned Frogs: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma Sooners go on the road as slight favorites to face the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday.

The No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners play the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 11 a.m. CT and can be seen on ABC.

The Oklahoma Sooners were unsuccessful in their bid to move to 4-0 on the season in last weeks loss to Kansas State. For the second time in three weeks, the Sooners failed to cover the spread.

For the first time this season, the Sooners are favored by fewer than 11 points. Sportsbooks, analysts, and fans are resetting expectations ahead of the Sooners road trip to take on the 3-0 TCU Horned Frogs.

Oklahoma vs. TCU injury report:

Oklahoma

[autotag]T.D. Roof[/autotag], LB: Elbow (out for season).

TCU

Quincy Brown, WR: Out Indefinitely (Undisclosed)

Chandler Morris, QB: Questionable (Knee)

Advice and prediction

Oklahoma started the season 3-0 and we’re 2-1 against the spread. They narrowly missed covering the 30-plus spread against Kent State after a sluggish start for the offense. Brent Venables and the Sooners bounced back with a rousing 35-point win over Nebraska before falling short and failing to cover the 11-point spread against Kansas State.

That loss to the Wildcats raised questions about the defense in the Sooners first loss of the season. They gave up more than 500 yards of offense and were gashed in the running game.

Until they prove otherwise, Oklahoma is back in prove-it mode on the defensive side of the ball. I think they bounce back, but this will be the toughest group of skill players they’ve faced thus far. While Oklahoma will score, it wouldn’t be surprising to see TCU put some points on the board. Sonny Dykes has Max Duggan playing at a high level of efficiency, completing 77% of his passes without a turnover on the season.

As mentioned in our staff predictions, this will be an Oklahoma win, but the Horned Frogs will make it close at the end.

Oklahoma minus-6 seems like easy money this week as the Sooners offense will be able to put some points on the board against one of the worst pass defenses in the country. Dillon Gabriel and the Sooners’ pass catchers will find room to work and will score points.

I’d avoid the over/under on this with the difference in defensive performance of the last two weeks. But if you’re set on playing the point total, take the over until the Sooners’ defense proves they’re capable of slowing down a Big 12 offense.

Prediction: 38-31

Record against the spread and O/U in 2022: 5-3.

Despite being at home, Auburn opens as touchdown underdog against LSU

Auburn has failed to cover the spread in each of their first four games but will have a chance to do so against LSU.

Auburn is in desperate need of a great offensive performance and a big win.

That may be tough to do as Auburn will be facing the LSU Tigers Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game will kickoff at 6 p.m. CT and will be on ESPN.

Auburn has won the last two matchups with LSU and snapped their losing streak in Baton Rouge last season. Both teams are 1-0 in the SEC but Auburn is fresh off a pitiful offensive performance against Missouri. LSU on the other hand came back to beat Mississippi State and is on a three-game winning streak.

Missouri handed Auburn their win after missing a 26-yard field goal as the fourth quarter ended and fumbled the ball away on the goal line in overtime.

Auburn vs. Missouri: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

Auburn is a touchdown favorite over Missouri in their SEC opener.

The Auburn Tigers will play the Missouri Tigers in their SEC opener on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

Auburn is coming off of one of the worst losses in Jordan-Hare Stadium in years after being beaten 41-12 by Penn State but will look to right the ship against a 2-1 Missouri team that is making its first-ever trip to the Plains. The game is set to start at 11 a.m. CT and will be on ESPN.

Missouri is fresh off a 34-17 win over Abilene Christian after falling to Kansas State in Week 2 of the season. It is the fourth ever matchup between the two programs and just the third since they joined the SEC.

Sooners open as double-digit favorites ahead of matchup with Kansas State

Coming off another big win over Nebraska, the Oklahoma Sooners open as double-digit favorites ahead of their matchup with the 2-1 Kansas State Wildcats.

The Oklahoma Sooners will open Big 12 play against the Kansas State Wildcats this Saturday night under the lights in Norman. Starting the season 3-0, the Oklahoma Sooners are 2-1 against the spread, narrowly missing against Kent State despite the 30-point win in week two.

The Kansas State Wildcats are 2-1, having recently lost to the Tulane Green Wave 17-10 at home on Saturday.

Still nearly a week out from the Sooners’ primetime matchup with the Wildcats, Oklahoma is an early 13-point favorite according to BetMGM.

[betwidget_betmgm]

Though Kansas State will bring a really good defense to Norman, they haven’t played a team like the Sooners yet. Kansas State doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Sooners aside from Deuce Vaughn.

Quarterback Adrian Martinez is averaging a career-low 4.6 yards per attempt passing. Vaughn is averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Yes, you read that right. Martinez is averaging fewer yards per attempt than Vaughn is per carry, and that’s shocking.

We’ll have more to get you ready for the Oklahoma Sooners vs. Kansas State later in the week, but it would not be surprising to see the line move further in Oklahoma’s favor as the week goes along. But now would be a great time to get in on Oklahoma minus-13.

Texas is the third favorite to win the Big 12 per BetMGM odds

Oklahoma is once again the odds-on favorite to win the Big 12 championship. Only the Sooners and Iowa State are slated ahead of Texas.

2009 was the last time Texas hoisted the Big 12 Trophy after a Hunter Lawrence game-winning field goal against Nebraska. Since then, 2018 was the only time the Longhorns have sniffed another conference championship. Kyler Murray and Grant Calcaterra ended the dream late in the fourth quarter at Jerry World.

Former head coach Tom Herman preached how the ultimate goal of the program was to win the Big 12. The same can be said for Steve Sarkisian. The latter has aspirations on the national level but winning your conference is step one.

Heading into the 2021 season, expectations have been lowered with a new head coach. Making the Big 12 championship game would be a plus and somehow winning it would be a real achievement. According to BetMGM, only two teams have better odds than Texas to win the conference.

Oklahoma is once again the odds-on favorite in the Big 12. Lincoln Riley’s squad is the only team not listed at plus odds. The gap between second-place Iowa State and third-place Texas is slimmer than Iowa State and Oklahoma.

Check where every team in the Big 12 stands:

  • Oklahoma -150
  • Iowa State +300
  • Texas +450
  • Oklahoma State +1000
  • TCU +1800
  • Kansas State, West Virginia +3500
  • Baylor +5000
  • Texas Tech +6600
  • Kansas +15000

Texas will only play two of the top seven teams at home this season. Of course, Oklahoma is at the Cotton Bowl for the Red River Shootout. Iowa State, TCU, and West Virginia will be road games this season.

Who are the Big 12 Conference’s early Heisman Trophy candidates?

Looking around the Big 12 Conference at the top Heisman Trophy candidates

The Big 12 Conference is still months away from kicking off the 2021 college football season. The Oklahoma Sooners viewed as the favorites once again, for good reason. Until a team can knock them off, the Crimson and Cream are the team to beat.

Another notable accomplishment that experts are looking at involves the Heisman Memorial Trophy, who are the top contenders? Over the last four years, the Sooners have produced two winners and one finalist at the quarterback position.

For that reason alone, the Sooners have the top player on most early candidates lists with quarterback Spencer Rattler.

Who else in the conference could be on the list? Betting odds provided by BetMGM.
