Florida at Auburn picks and predictions
Prediction
Auburn 87, Florida 75
Moneyline
Auburn (-475) will set you back almost 5 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward in this battle of top-10 teams.
However, Florida (+360) cannot be trusted after its egg-laying against Tennessee last week, when the Gators managed just 44 points in a rout.
AVOID.

Against the spread
PLAY AUBURN -9.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly in this SEC top-10 clash.
Florida +9.5 (-110) would be attractive to play normally, but after it completely wet the bed at Tennessee in its most recent marquee game, the Gators cannot be trusted.
Auburn has covered 3 in a row, including a 28-point win at home against Oklahoma last time out. Meanwhile, Florida is just 3-3 ATS in the past 6 games, while going 0-2 SU/ATS in 2 games as an underdog this season.
Over/Under
OVER 157.5 (-110) is worth a look.
The Over hit last time out for the Gators against Vanderbilt, although the Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 outings.
For the Tigers, the Over has cashed in 3 in a row, while the Over is 5-3 in the past 8 outings, while cashing at a 12-7 clip in the previous 19 contests.
