Allstate Sugar Bowl
No. 14 Auburn (8-4, 5-3 SEC) vs. No. 7 Oklahoma (10-2, 9-0 Big 12)
Jan. 2 – 8:30 p.m., ESPN
Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans

Average Line: Oklahoma, -4

Auburn had some flashes of good play this season, but generally speaking the Tigers were more known for underwhelming offense, mistake-filled play and playing down to their opponents. The only reason Auburn is in this game is due to SEC agreements. They were the least objectionable SEC team left.

Oklahoma could practically be a playoff team they way they closed out the season, and Baker Mayfield is going to have a fun evening toying with the Auburn secondary. It’s going to be a big game for his favorite target, Dede Westbrook.

Prediction: Sooners easily cover 4 (maybe even 40). Take the Oklahoma and the points.

Next: National Championship
