Best Bets For Auburn Vs. Oklahoma Week 4 - Jackson Arnold, John Mateer
  • John Mateer’s passing yard total is set at 251.5.
  • Odds have set Jackson Arnold’s rushing yard total at 42.5.

NORMAN, Okla. – A massive SEC showdown is set in Week 4 between the #22 Auburn Tigers and #11 Oklahoma Sooners. One of the biggest talking points for this SEC opener for both of them is the return of Jackson Arnold to Oklahoma as the QB1 for Auburn.

Arnold spent his first two collegiate seasons at Oklahoma, where he totaled 1,983 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and six interceptions to go along with 500+ rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. He went 5-6 in 11 games started for the Sooners.

Getting into the player props on legal sports betting sites, Jackson Arnold, along with John Mateer, have plenty of value for their respective yard totals. We’ll focus on Mateer’s passing yard total and Arnold’s rushing yard total.

Mateer Continues Heisman Run Through The Air

John Mateer Total Passing Yards

  • Over 251.5 -114
  • Under 251.5 -115

There is no hiding that John Mateer has been on a Heisman type run to start the season. He’s crossed 251.5 passing yards in his first three games, as well as over his set passing yard totals in those games. He’s totaled 944 passing yards for an average of 314.6 yards per game.

He now gets an enticing matchup against an Auburn defense that allows the third most passing yards in the SEC so far this season at 220 ypg. Also, in Auburn’s only matchup against a P4 opponent this season (Baylor), they allowed 419 passing yards.

Arnold Stays Efficient In Rushing Attack

Jackson Arnold Total Rushing Yards

  • Over 42.5 -114
  • Under 42.5 -114

This is just too low of a rushing yard total on college football betting sites for Jackson Arnold to accomplish given his efficiency on the ground so far this season. He has totaled 192 rushing yards through three games for an average of 64 rushing yards per game. He’s also going for 5.5 yards per carry and has gone for 9+ carries in each of those three games as well.

Given his usage so far, we fully back him to continue his hot streak on the ground and go over his 42.5 rushing yard total with ease.
