Total points settlements determine over/under outcomes at 164.5 or 165.5, so combined scoring matters. Payouts differ between moneyline, spread, and the two total lines offered.
Auburn Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks are the deciding teams. Each school's quarterback play, offensive line, and red-zone efficiency will set the game result.
