A new-look SEC football game kicks off on The Plains with two teams looking for their first conference win as No. 21 Oklahoma visits Auburn in college football’s Week 5 action on Saturday.

OU’s offense is in flux after quarterback Jackson Arnold struggled to build any momentum against Tennessee a week ago, and we could see a change to Michael Hawkins, Jr., who came in to lead a touchdown drive late in that game.

It’s a similar story for Auburn, which has still failed to find its offensive mojo, switching between Payton Thorne and Hank Brown at quarterback, but they combined for 4 interceptions in a loss to Arkansas at home last weekend.

What do the wiseguys project for this matchup?

Let’s check out the oddsmakers’ early predictions as Oklahoma meets Auburn this weekend.
