Purdue vs. Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 83, Purdue 75

Moneyline

Auburn (-500) will cost you 5 times your potential return, and that’s way too much to risk on a matchup between 2 ranked teams. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Tigers sucks all of the value out of your betslip.

PASS.

Against the spread

BACK PURDUE +10.5 (-115) to keep this game within single digits. Purdue is just 1-2 straight up/ATS in 3 games as an underdog this season, but that lone victory was an 87-78 win against Alabama as a 4-point underdog Nov. 15.

Auburn -10.5 (-105) has had a tremendous 5-1 ATS run in the past 6 games, while going 9-2 ATS in 11 outings this season.

Over/Under

OVER 149.5 (-105) is a strong play in this marquee matchup.

The Over has connected in 3 of the past 4 games for Purdue, with the Boilermakers allowing at least 78 points in the 3 outings with an Over result.

For Auburn, the Over has hit in 4 of the past 5 games, with the Tigers going for 90 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings, too. The Tigers are good for 78 or more points in 10 of 11 games.

Georgia State at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Georgia State at Auburn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Georgia State Panthers (4-6) take on the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (9-1) Tuesday. Tip-off from Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama, is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgia State vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Georgia State is fresh off a 77-63 home loss to the Charlotte 49ers Saturday. The Panthers lost as 1.5-point favorites and the Under (144) came in by 4 points. F Zarique Nutter was butter with 19 points, including 7-for-10 from the floor. The 6-foot-7 senior is averaging 17.9 PPG on 48.2% shooting on the season.

The Tigers made light work of Ohio State in a 91-53 victory Saturday as 12.5-point favorites on a neutral floor in Atlanta with the Under (150.5) cashing. F Johni Broome had 21 points, 20 boards and 6 assists. After their 6-point loss at Duke Dec. 4, the Tigers have destroyed their last 2 opponents by 44 and 38.

Georgia State at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 83, Georgia State 62

Moneyline

The line is so big that there is no moneyline offered as of this publishing.

Against the spread

These teams matched up Dec. 14, 2022, and Auburn snuck away with a 72-64 home win, but Georgia State covered as a 19.5-point underdog.

Even before learning that the Panthers made their last meeting closer than normal, I was all about their side catching nearly 40. Auburn just destroyed 2 teams in a row by 44 and 38, and it faces No. 17 Purdue Saturday.

This is a perfect game for the Tigers to overlook and take their foot off the gas. TAKE GEORGIA STATE +39.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Georgia State is 4-5 O/U; Auburn is 6-4 O/U. Because Purdue is next on the docket, I don’t see Auburn hitting 90 points in this one. That means Georgia State is going to have to score 60-70 to cash an Over. Auburn allows 65.7 PPG, and they have faced much more formidable foes.

TAKE UNDER 155.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Ohio State Buckeyes (6-3) and the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (9-1) meet Saturday at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Ohio State vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Buckeyes rebounded from an ugly 83-59 rout at Maryland to top Rutgers 80-66 at home last Saturday as a 5-point favorite. The Under (154.5) has cashed in each of the past 2 games.

Ohio State has played just a single previous neutral-floor game, topping Texas in Las Vegas in the opener Nov. 4, 80-72. The Buckeyes cashed as a 1.5-point underdog as the Over (146.5) cashed.

Auburn suffered a marquee game loss at Duke Dec. 4, 84-78, but it rebounded by slaughtering Richmond 98-54 last Sunday as a 29-point favorite as the Over (144.5) cashed. The Over has hit in 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6 outings. Auburn is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 games, and 7-2 ATS in 9 games this season.

In neutral-floor battles, Auburn is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS, including a championship in the prestigious Maui Invitational.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Ohio State vs. Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 84, Ohio State 75

Moneyline

Playing Auburn (-700) would set you back 7 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even including the Tigers in your multi-leg parlay would suck all out of the value out of your ticket.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

OHIO STATE +12.5 (-110) is a strong play catching double digits in this neutral-floor battle in Atlanta.

The Buckeyes are 1-2 ATS in 3 games as an underdog this season, but it does have an outright win against a ranked opponent in its only neutral-floor battle.

Auburn -12.5 (-105) is an impressive 6-0 ATS in 6 outings as a favorite or 4 or more points, so this won’t be easy. However, it is just 3-2 ATS in the past 5 outings, too.

Over/Under

OVER 153.5 (-110) is worth a look. The Over has cashed in 3 straight outings for Auburn, while going 5-1 in the past 6 outings.

For Ohio State, the Under has hit in the past 2 games, but the Over has as 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings. In addition, the Buckeyes cashed high in their only previous neutral-floor battle against a ranked foe. Lean high.

Richmond at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Richmond at Auburn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Richmond Spiders (4-4) and the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (7-1) meet Sunday at Neville Arena in Auburn, Ala. Tip-off is set for noon ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Richmond Spiders vs. Auburn Tigers odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Richmond has picked up 3 victories in the past 4 outings, while covering the past 2 games. However, the Spiders have lost their 2 previous true road games — 65-48 at the Charlotte 49ers and at 80-76 in double overtime at the Bucknell Bison. Richmond also failed to cover in those 2 road outings. The Under has cashed in 2 straight games, while holding a 3-2 edge in the past 5 contests with a line.

Auburn is licking its wounds after an 84-78 loss at the Duke Blue Devils in a marquee matchup on Wednesday. The Tigers also failed to cover as a 3.5-point underdog while the Over (146.5) connected. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 outings. Auburn has scored 78 or more points in 6 straight games, while going 74 or more points in all 8 contests this season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Richmond at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 93, Richmond 61

Moneyline

Auburn (-20000) is such a heavy favorite, that you need to risk $100 just to net 50 cents of profit. Needless to say that’s ridiculous, and there is never a reason to risk that much ever.

PASS.

Against the spread

BACK AUBURN -27.5 (-110), as it should be extremely angry after its loss at Duke last time out.

While Richmond has covered back-to-back games against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and Ball State Cardinals, it is still just 2-4 ATS in 6 games with a line this season.

Auburn is 3-0 ATS when favored by double digits, including the most recent instance as a 29.5-point favorite over the North Alabama Lions Nov. 18 in a 102-69 win. Expect a similar result here.

Over/Under

OVER 143.5 (-110) is the best play on the board in the matinee action on The Plains.

Auburn has cashed high in 4 of the past 5 games. This Tigers offense has been on fire, going for 85.8 PPG this season, and it is hitting field goals at a healthy 51.5% clip, which ranks 6th in the nation.

The Under has cashed in the past 2 games for Richmond, but the total has split 3-3 in 6 games with a line. It hasn’t faced a team nearly the magnitude of Auburn, especially one which is angry, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Tigers flirt with triple digits.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 2 Auburn Tigers (7-0) and the No. 9 Duke Blue Devils (5-2) meet Wednesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Tip-off is set for 9:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Auburn vs. Duke odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Auburn has rolled to 7 victories in 7 tries, including a championship at the Maui Invitational. The Tigers have already recorded victories over the Houston Cougars, Iowa State Cyclones, North Carolina Tar Heels and Memphis Tigers, while going 6-1 against the spread (ATS).

Duke suffered a 75-72 setback to the Kansas Jayhawks, as well as a 77-72 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats. It did top the Arizona Wildcats 69-55 on the road in Tucson, so it does have a marquee victory. The Under has cashed in 5 in a row, but Duke is just 2-3 ATS in that span.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Auburn at Duke picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 73, Duke 69

Moneyline

AUBURN (+125) is worth a look as short ‘dogs on the road against Duke (-150). The Tigers have just done a much better job in marquee games so far this season.

The Blue Devils get a major opponent at home, and the Cameron Crazies will certainly be a full throat. But the Tigers have dropped all comers so far this season, and they’re just a little ahead of the Blue Devils as a team at this juncture.

Against the spread

There isn’t a lot of sense taking Auburn +2.5 (-110) with the little bit of points, unless you like the Tigers a little bit, but feel Duke -2.5 (-110) will win by 1 or 2 points.

If you like the Tigers, back them on the moneyline at a much better price.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 147.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

The Under has cashed in 5 straight games for Duke, including the past 2 home games against Wofford and Seattle.

For Auburn, the total has gone low just once in the past 4 games, but 3 times in 7 tries on the season. Go lightly in this marquee battle.

Auburn at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 38, Auburn 13

Moneyline

PASS.

The Crimson Tide are fighting for their College Football Playoff lives and need a dominating win. They should come out on top yet aren’t worth a play as sizable home favorites.

Against the spread

BET ALABAMA -11.5 (-110).

The Crimson Tide need a convincing performance, and while it could still be too late, a blowout would be helpful for their CFP chances. Alabama has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and is 4-2 ATS at home this season.

The Tigers are 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games and 1-2 ATS in their last 3 as underdogs. Auburn has struggled offensively, scoring 24 or fewer points in 6 of its last 8 games.

Expect a Crimson Tide blowout, and back ALABAMA -11.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 52.5 (-115).

The Tigers are 5-6 O/U on the season and just 2-4 O/U in their last 6 games. They have scored 17 or fewer in 3 of their last 6 and allowed 21 or fewer in 4 of their last 5.

Alabama is 6-5 O/U and has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 games. It has allowed a total of 44 points in its last 4 games. Considering those trends, back UNDER 52.5 (-115).

The Memphis Tigers (6-0) and the No. 3 Auburn Tigers (6-0) meet Wednesday in the Maui Invitational Championship Game. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET (ESPN) at the Lahaina Civic Center. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Memphis vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Tigers of Memphis have surprised in the islands, stunning the UConn Huskies 99-97 in OT as an 8-point underdog, while besting the Michigan State Spartans 71-63 on Tuesday night as a 2.5-point ‘dog. Memphis has not only won all 6 of its games, it has covered all 6 as well. The Tigers have alternated the Under and Over in each of the first 6 contests.

The Tigers of Auburn were expected to make a run to this title game, but it has had a tough road. Auburn had a comeback to edge the Iowa State Cyclones 83-81 on Monday as a 3.5-point favorite in a non-cover. It worked over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Tuesday, 85-72, while cashing as a 4-point favorite. Despite the non-cover against Iowa State, Auburn is still 5-1 against the spread (ATS). The Over-Under has split in the first 6 outings.

Memphis vs. Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 86, Memphis 77

Moneyline

Auburn (-345) will cost you nearly 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much for a standalone bet. Even including the Tigers in your multi-leg parlay will suck all of the value out of your ticket.

AVOID, and focus on the spread instead.

Against the spread

Play AUBURN -7.5 (-120) lightly in this title game in Maui.

Memphis +7.5 (-102) has taken down 2 heavyweight with outright victories against UConn and Michigan State, and it hasn’t failed to cover in any of its 6 games to date. However, springing 3 upsets in 3 straight days against a top-tier team is a tall order. If Memphis were to win this game, Anfernee Hardaway’s team might head back from the islands with a top-10 ranking.

Over/Under

OVER 155.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

Memphis is playing with house money, and while it certainly wants to finish off this improbable championship, it should play free and easy.

Auburn is an offensive juggernaut, going for 79 or more points in 5 straight games, while averaging 84.0 PPG in the 2 games in the islands.

Auburn vs. Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 75, Iowa State 68

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline is an option for both sides here, but one should skip it and look toward the spread as the preferred option. Auburn has better value there.

Against the spread

BET AUBURN -3.5 (-115).

The Cyclones have inflated numbers, having yet to have a closing spread of fewer than 25 points. They have scored between 82 and 87 and allowed under 56 in all 3 games, but are 0-3 ATS.

The Tigers have one of the most complete teams in the country with a star like Broome leading the way. Auburn is 1-0 ATS against top-10 teams and 3-0 ATS against teams in which it closed as a double-digit favorite.

Considering how well the Tigers have played and who the Cyclones have faced, back AUBURN -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 146.5 (-110).

The Tigers are 2-2 O/U this season and have allowed 70 or fewer in all 4 games. The Cyclones have a more one-sided total history and are 0-3 O/U, having yet to allow more than 56 points.

Both teams have strong defensive aptitudes and only have 1 player in their top-3 scoring options shooting over 40% from deep. Considering those weaknesses from downtown, back UNDER 146.5 (-110).

Texas A&M at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M at Auburn odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies (8-2, 5-1 SEC) and Auburn Tigers (4-6, 1-5) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Jordan Hare Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aggies roughed up New Mexico State 38-3 last Saturday in the annual SEC cupcake game in mid-November but failed to cover as 38.5-point home favorites. Texas A&M has won 8 of the past 9 outings with only a 44-20 shellacking as 3-point road favorites at South Carolina Nov. 2 as the lone blemish in that span. Texas A&M has failed to cover the past 2 games and is 3-7 against the spread (ATS) on the season. The Over has cashed 4 in a row against SEC teams.

The Tigers topped UL-Monroe 48-14 last Saturday, covering as 24.5-point favorites with the Over (45.5) cashing. QB Payton Thorne finished with a career-best 5 passing TDs and 286 with WR Cam Coleman (8 receptions, 100 yards, 3 TDs) as his top target. However, Auburn has dropped 5 of the past 6 games against SEC foes, while going 2-4 ATS in those games. The Under has cashed in 4 straight outings against SEC teams.

Texas A&M at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 31, Auburn 20

Moneyline

TEXAS A&M (-120) is worth a look straight up if you’re a little more conservative and you prefer not to lay the points and just want to pick a winner.

While it’s a safe play, Auburn (+100) should be playing with desperation, as it needs to win out — against A&M and Alabama next Saturday — to qualify for a bowl game.

Against the spread

Back TEXAS A&M -1.5 (-105). Save for the South Carolina debacle two games ago, the Aggies are playing some of the best football in the SEC.

Auburn has just been off this season. The Tigers’ 4 wins are against Alabama A&M, New Mexico, Kentucky and UL-Monroe, not exactly a murderer’s row. The Tigers should be desperate, yes, but they just don’t have the horses to slow the Aggies down.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is worth. Texas A&M will likely have to do a lot of the heavy lifting to get this across the finish line.

A&M is good for 34 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, and the run game is the pride of the Aggies offense. However, Auburn is pretty decent defensively against the run, so that’s a little bit of a concern with the Over.
