Oklahoma vs. Auburn Prediction
No. 1 Auburn escaped Columbia, MO with a one-point win earlier this week but they failed to cover as a 12.5-point favorite against Mizzou in the process. From a betting standpoint, will the Tigers rebound when they host Oklahoma at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday?

Oklahoma Sooners DFS Snapshot
Elijah Harkless registered no counting stats across four minutes during Wednesday’s 72-62 win over West Virginia. It was a surprise to see Harkless removed from the starting lineup prior to Wednesday’s game and then to see him play just four minutes raises even more questions. Jacob Groves played well given the starting opportunity so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of plan coach Porter Moser has on Saturday against No. 1 Auburn.
