Auburn vs. Iowa College Basketball Odds, Prediction


The Action Network’s proprietary tracking data indicates heavy sharp action on the Iowa Hawkeyes to cover at a market-best clip of +1.5 (-110).

Heavy sharp action indicates that substantially more wagers of five figures or more have been placed on Iowa relative to Auburn across all of the major American sportsbooks.

That market-best price can be found at both DraftKings and PointsBet.

If you’re more inclined on the moneyline for Thursday night’s contest, those aforementioned books are the way to go, too.

Both those books are pricing the Hawkeyes at +105, relative to a market-low price of -102.

Do keep in mind that tailing sharp and big moneyed action works best when you use the same unit sizing across every wager.

Pick: Iowa +1.5 (-110) OR Iowa +105
