Oklahoma is fresh off a dominant win, but its biggest weakness is about to be exposed. Auburn's Johni Broome has been a rebounding machine all season, and he is in a prime spot to dominate the glass tonight. Forget the spread—this is all about backing Broome to crash the boards and cash in.

Oklahoma vs #1 Auburn Best Bet
For this matchup, we are not focusing on a side or a total. This is strictly a spot to back a player to go over his rebounds prop. Despite the letdown spot brewing for Oklahoma after blowing out Vanderbilt by 30 points, I am not backing Auburn to cover the massive 17-point spread—especially with the Tigers looking ahead to hosting No. 6 Florida on Saturday. So, forget who is winning or covering. The focus is on Johni Broome to go over 11.5 rebounds tonight.
Oklahoma Cannot Rebound to Save Their Life
The Sooners are one of the worst rebounding teams in the country. In four true road games, they rank 16th worst in offensive rebounding and dead last defensively. Need a bigger sample size? In nine games away from home, Oklahoma is 291st in offensive rebounding and still dead last on defense.
Auburn's star big man has been one of the nation's best rebounders all season. Averaging 11.2 boards per game, he ranks fourth in the country and has cleared this line in four of his last five games. During that stretch, he is averaging 11.4—just under where we need him tonight.
Oklahoma is coming off one of its best conference wins, out-rebounding Vanderbilt by 15, but regression is coming on the road. Broome should also have a major edge over Sooner forward Jalon Moore, who is three inches shorter and averaging just six rebounds per game.
Ladder this up to 14 rebounds for some fun! Shop around and get the best number!
