How to make Auburn vs. Iowa State picks
SportsLine's model is leaning over on the total. It says Auburn freshman forward Isaac Okoro will put two sub-par performances behind him -- combining for just 15 points the past two games -- and will score more than 12 points, while Iowa State senior guard Prentiss Nixon will surpass his 8.6 average by at least two points. It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that cashes in over 50 percent of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
