John Mateer is increasingly a trendy Heisman contender, currently listed at +800 at FanDuel, tied for the best odds on the board.
A year ago, some of that same thought applied to Jackson Arnold, then the quarterback of the Oklahoma Sooners but now the quarterback of the Auburn Tigers.
My Auburn vs. Oklahoma predictions and college football picks trust those two quarterbacks and their respective offensive lines. Kickoff comes at 3:30 ET on Saturday, September 30.
Our best Auburn vs Oklahoma SGP for Week 4
This total fell too far. One might argue it never should have fallen at all. Advanced metrics are split, but they are heavily weighting how both these defenses did against vastly inferior opponents, quite possibly underappreciating what their offenses did.
Both Auburn and Oklahoma have quality offensive lines creating running lanes for their quarterbacks, and the dual-threat abilities of both John Mateer and Jackson Arnold have defenses on their heels.
Brent Venables may be one of the best defensive minds of the 21st century, but Hugh Freeze is one of the best offensive minds. Venables’s familiarity with Arnold will not outright stop him.
Frankly, Freeze may find a way to use that against Oklahoma, springing Arnold loose for a long gain that could quite possibly reach the end zone.
On the other side of the ball, Auburn has done well defending the rush this season, so look for Mateer to add to his Heisman campaign more through the air than the ground, especially where it matters most.
Note if there is an applicable parlay boost available.
