Arkansas vs. Auburn ATS prediction
Auburn to cover the spread: -15.5 ⭐⭐⭐
There's no longer any debate that Auburn is the nation's best team. The Tigers were 1.5-point underdogs in Tuscaloosa before notching a nine-point win over Alabama in a game the Crimson Tide never led in for even a second. Nate Oats' team was ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 Poll entering that contest.
Dismantling a team with a real shot at winning the NCAA Tournament so thoroughly speaks to how special Auburn is this season. With Wooden Award odds contender Johni Broome leading the way, the Tigers are 15-9-1 against the spread after covering in four of their last five matchups.
Auburn should torch this Arkansas team while leaning on its offense that's No. 1 in the country in adjusted efficiency, according to KenPom, and it features six different players scoring in the double-digits. The Razorbacks have been discombobulated during Calipari's first season in Fayetteville and aren't showing any offensive consistency. They're 80th in adjusted offensive efficiency and 12th during SEC play in points per game (69.1).
Down freshman star Boogie Fland for the season, Arkansas doesn't possess the firepower to keep up with Broome, Chad Baker-Mazara, Tahaad Pettiford, and Miles Kelly. The Razorbacks are 9-16 ATS this season (5-7 in SEC play). If they fail to cover again, a $10 bet on Auburn pays an $8.47 profit.
Best odds: -118 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 54.13%

Johni Broome Over 10.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
For as much as Cooper Flagg has been living up to the hype as the presumed No. 1 pick by the NBA draft odds, I don't think he should be minus money to win the Wooden Award over Broome. They're neck-and-neck right now based on play and team success, and Broome just put up 19 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks against Alabama.
The fifth-year senior is a walking double-double and should be able to own the glass against an Arkansas team that trots out just one player taller than 6-foot-6 for more than 18 minutes per game. That's part of the reason the Razorbacks allow the third-most rebounds per outing to opponents in SEC play (34.8).
Broome is fifth in the country in rebounds per game (10.9) and has gone for Over 10.5 in 14 tilts this season, including five of his last seven. Another night with 11-plus rebounds for Broome pays an $8 profit on a $10 bet.
Best odds: -125 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 55.56%
