March Madness: Auburn vs. Houston odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Auburn vs. Houston odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Auburn Tigers (21-12) battle the Houston Cougars (32-3) Saturday in the second round of the Midwest Region. Tip from Legacy Arena is set for 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Auburn vs. Houston odds as we make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Check out: USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

The Tigers beat the No. 8 Iowa Hawkeyes 83-75 Thursday, covering as a 2.5-point favorite. Auburn lost in their first SEC Tournament game to Arkansas 76-73, failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. Those were the Tigers’ 2 postseason battles as they enter the Round of the 32. The Tigers are just 4-6 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10 games.

The Cougars beat No. 16 Northern Kentucky 63-52 Thursday, failing to cover as a 19.5-point favorite. The top seed in the region is just 1-3 ATS in their 4 postseason games. G Marcus Sasser played just 14 minutes against NKU, having struggled with an injury sustained in the AAC semifinal, so Houston’s leading scorer may be limited against Auburn.

Auburn vs. Houston picks and predictions

Prediction

Houston 66, Auburn 63

Moneyline

PASS.

While Sasser could play, at what level he’ll be at is unknown, and the Tigers looked solid against the Hawkeyes. The (+200) underdog has some value, but I would still pass here and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

LEAN AUBURN +5.5 (-110).

The Tigers put 6 players in double figures against Iowa, and that’s the diverse offense they’ll need to break down the Cougars. Auburn has covered 3 of its last 4 games as well, and 3 of its last 4 defeats have come by 6 or fewer points.

Houston is also just 1-3 ATS over its last 4 games and is just 2-8 ATS over its last 10. It hasn’t covered well as of late, and the unknown status of its best player is concerning. Considering both trends, back AUBURN +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 131.5 (-110).

Houston has gone Under in 4 of its last 5 games. While typically it is the Cougars’ defense leading the way for the Under, their offense hasn’t scored over 70 points in 5 straight games.

Auburn is 5-4 O/U in its last 9 but will be competing against the 2nd-best defense in America, one that allows just 56.4 points per game. It may also struggle to have that go-to scorer as no player is averaging more than 14 points per game.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 131.5 (-110).

The Auburn Tigers (20-12) battle the Iowa Hawkeyes (19-13) Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Tip from Legacy Arena In Birmingham, Ala., is set for 6:50 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Auburn vs. Iowa odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Tigers are the No. 9 seed in the Midwest Region. Auburn lost its 1st SEC Tournament game to Arkansas 76-73. It lost 3 of its last 4 games, but it does have wins over 7-seed Northwestern and 4-seed Tennessee. The Tigers are led by F Johni Broome, who is averaging 14 points per game.

The Hawkeyes come in as the No. 8 seed. Iowa is led by F Kris Murray, who proved to be one of the best scorers in college hoops, averaging 20.4 points per game. The Hawkeyes lost to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament 73-69, but it has covered 2 of its last 4 games.

Auburn vs. Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 79, Auburn 75

Moneyline

BET IOWA (-105).

Having an elite scoring option is going to bode well for the Hawkeyes.  Murray went for 20 or more points in 3 of Iowa’s last 4 games, and the Tigers’ defense ranks 76 in the nation in opponents’ points per game (67.1).

Iowa has a strong defense, but Auburn’s offense could create issues. It ranks 224th in effective field goal percentage (49.6%). While defense matters, scoring is how you win tournament games, and Murray can provide that.

Back IOWA (-105).

Against the spread

PASS.

I’ll take Iowa to win outright here and take the near-plus-money odds on the moneyline.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch Iowa vs Auburn” link=”https://sling-tv.pxf.io/KjKy3A”]

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 152.5 (-108).

While Iowa has an explosive offense, most of its scoring isn’t done from deep — ranking 202nd in percentage of points from deep. It will be able to get in the inside and score like it has done most of the season.

Auburn has gone Over in 4 of its last 5 games and in 3 straight. Iowa has also gone Over in 3 of its last 4 and has scored at least 77 points in 3 of its last 4 as well. Considering the styles of play, back the OVER 152.5 (-108).

Tennessee at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers (22-8, 11-6 SEC) battle the Auburn Tigers (19-11, 9-8) Saturday. Tip from Neville Arena is set for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tennessee vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Tennessee beat Auburn 46-43 at home Feb. 4, failing to cover as a 9.5-point favorite as the Under (133) hit.

The Vols are coming off a 75-57 win over Arkansas Tuesday, covering as 5-point home favorites. They have won and covered their last 2 outings but are just 3-6 against the spread (ATS) over their last 9. Tennessee is 16-14 ATS on the season.

The Tigers lost to Alabama 90-85 in overtime on the road Wednesday, covering as a 9.5-point underdog. They are just 2-5 ATS over their last 7 games, slipping to 14-16 ATS on the season.

Tennessee at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 65, Tennessee 60

Moneyline

PASS.

Just like it was when Tennessee (+115) visited Kentucky, this feels like a trap line. I would avoid backing the top-15 road underdog despite the plus-money odds.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

BET AUBURN -2.5 (+100).

Auburn is 2-1 ATS against ranked opponents while Tennessee is the conference’s 4th-worst covering team on the road (3-6 ATS).

That road ATS record includes an 0-2 ATS mark as road underdogs. To make matters even worse, they have lost 4 straight road games, failing to cover in all 4 and losing by 3 or more points in 3 of the 4 defeats.

Given the Vols’ struggles on the road, back AUBURN -2.5 (+100).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 131.5 (-110).

Tennessee is 2-6-1 O/U in its last 9 games while Auburn has gone Under in 4 of its last 6 outings. The two programs are a combined 15-18-1 O/U in conference play this season.

Both teams also hoist up 59 or fewer shots per game — these are not high-tempo sides.

Tennessee’s strength is its defense and it ranks 1st in the nation in opponents’ field goal percentage (35.9%) and 3rd in scoring defense (56.7 points allowed per game).

Auburn at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

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

The Auburn Tigers (19-10, 9-7 SEC) take on the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (25-4, 15-1) in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Auburn vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Alabama, which continues to play under a cloud of mystery, will look to sweep the season series against the rival Auburn Tigers after winning the previous matchup 77-69 as 1-point favorites on Feb. 11.

Auburn, whose offense averages 72.1 points, will look to outscore a Crimson Tide team that ranks 6th in the nation at 83.3 PPG and hits as many 3-point shots as any team in the country.

If Auburn can hold down G Brandon Miller, who has gone for 65 points in the last 2 games, the Tigers might be able to pull off a big upset. If Miller is able to get free and knock down his 3-pointers, it will be an easy win for the Tide.

Auburn at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 78 Auburn 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Alabama has been cruising in SEC play this season with a 15-1 record. Despite the turmoil surrounding the team recently, Miller is still an All-American 1st-team member and contender for player of the year. With just 2 games left before the SEC Tournament, do not expect Alabama to take this game lightly. Even if it were not against rival Auburn, -525 is too much to wager on any bet so stay away.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

ALABAMA -10.5 (+100).

Alabama has rolled in SEC play and will continue it against the Tigers, who  have failed to cover in 5 of their last 6 games. The Tigers are also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record such as Alabama.

Alabama has covered in 6 of its last 8 home games against a team with a losing road record. Being at home, the fans will be into this game for Alabama and with the 3-point shooting of the Crimson Tide making the difference, Alabama will cover the large 10.5-point number.

Over/Under

UNDER 151.5 (-110).

This number is just a touch too high.

Despite Alabama averaging 83.3 points, the Tigers were able to hold the Tide to 77 in the previous meeting. Even if Alabama gets to its average, The Tigers are struggling to score of late and they will attempt to slow this game down and avoid being run out of the gym.

Auburn has gone Under the total in 4 of its last 5 games overall and have also gone Under in 4 of 5 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. When Auburn plays good teams, it likes to slow things down. It will do so just enough to make this game hit the Under 151.5. If it drops below 150, I would avoid.

Missouri at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

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

The Missouri Tigers (19-6, 7-5 SEC) and Auburn Tigers (17-8, 7-5) meet Tuesday at Neville Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Missouri vs. Auburn game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Mizzou has won 5 of its last 6 games as it makes a serious push for a postseason bid. It is 3-2-1 against the spread (ATS) during the span while cashing the Over at a 3-1 clip in the previous 4 outings.

Auburn is in a nosedive, and it would love to get a win on Valentine’s Day to pull out of it. These Tigers have dropped 3 games in a row, although losses at Tennessee, at Texas A&M and at home to conference leader Alabama are nothing to be ashamed about.

This is the first meeting between these teams this season. Auburn has won 5 of the past 6 meetings straight up since Jan. 24, 2018, while covering 6 of the past 9 in the series. The Over is 7-1 in the previous 8 meetings, too.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MISSOURI +6.5 (-110) has been playing great basketball lately, and that is expected to continue at Auburn. The home Tigers have had difficulty at the offensive end this season, and they’re a terrible 3-point shooting team, too.

Defensively, Auburn will prevail, holding down Missouri, a team with a red-hot offense and low-quality D. Mizzou is also 7-3 ATS in the past 10 games on the road.

Over/Under

UNDER 150.5 (-105) is a big number, but that’s the lean with Auburn playing a strong brand of D.

The Tigers of Auburn allow the opposition to hit just 27.3% from behind the 3-point line, and that’s a stat potential Under bettors like to hear.

Auburn is an awful perimeter shooting team, hitting at just 29.2%, too. Under bettors are going to enjoy this battle of Tigers.

Alabama at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 80, Auburn 76

Moneyline

PASS.

Although Alabama’s ranking and record precedes itself, the -135 moneyline odds do not present as much return as a play on the spread.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

LEAN ALABAMA -2.5 (-110).

The Crimson Tide are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

While Auburn is 11-1 at home this season, Alabama’s offense ranks 7th in the nation averaging 83.7 points per game and its defense ranks 3rd in opponent field goal percentage (37.197%) and 2nd in opponent 3-point percentage (26.1%). The Crimson Tide will be a handful on both ends of the court for the Tigers, so LEAN ALABAMA -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 152.5 (-115).

The Over is 4-0 in Alabama’s last 4 games against a team with a winning outright record. For Auburn, the Over is 5-1 in its last 6 outings and 4-1 in its last 5 games against a team with a winning outright record.

The Tigers are 15-9 O/U this season, highlighting their ability to consistently score. Combined with Alabama’s top-ranked offense, BET OVER 152.5 (-115).

Auburn at Tennessee odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 23 Auburn Tigers (17-5. 7-2 SEC) visit the No. 2 Tennessee Volunteers (18-4, 7-2 SEC) in a top-25 matchup on Saturday. Tip from Thompson-Boling Arena is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Auburn vs. Tennessee odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Auburn dismantled Georgia 94-73 Wednesday, covering as 12.5-point home favorites. It has now covered in back-to-back games and is 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in its last 6 games. Auburn is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 to improve to 11-11 ATS this season.

Tennessee 68, Auburn 63

Moneyline

PASS.

At -500 odds for Tennessee, the moneyline is not worth the play in this matchup.

Against the spread

BET AUBURN +9.5 (-110).

In the last 7 matchups between these programs, the underdog is 5-2 ATS.

Auburn has covered the spread in its last 4 away games, and this spread will be their largest in the past 10 games. At 4-3 on the road this season and 7-2 in the SEC, this Tigers team is more than capable of manning a competitive balance on the road against Tennessee, especially within 10 points.

Georgia at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 73, Georgia 63

Moneyline

AVOID. 

Even though the Tigers are heavily favored at home, taking them to win straight up isn’t advised at the current odds (-800).

Against the spread

While Auburn should secure the victory, GEORGIA +11.5 (-105) is an enticing wager with it being such a massive spread. The Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 76-64 earlier this season as a 6.5-point underdog as the 135,5 Over cashed.

Georgia is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games following a win. Meanwhile, Auburn is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games following an ATS win.

Over/Under

UNDER 141.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the total with how these teams perform offensively. Both teams shoot under 34% from 3-point range and convert fewer than 74% of their free throws.

Mississippi State at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 68, Mississippi State 58

Moneyline

AVOID.

Auburn is 9-0 at home, so its (-360) odds to just win outright are justified and still unplayable. Both sides of the moneyline are a pass.

Against the spread

LEAN AUBURN -7.5 (-110).

The Bulldogs have struggled in conference play, posting just a 1-3 ATS record. The Tigers, while not much better, are 2-2- ATS and have covered 2 in a row.

They also have a better attack, ranking 227th in field goal percentage (43.8%) which is significantly better than Mississippi State, which is 330th at 41.1%.

Both teams thrive defensively, and the Tigers’ ability to score mixed with their record success should make AUBURN -7.5 (-110) the better option here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 128.5 (-110).

While this feels low, Mississippi State has gone Under in 4 of its last 5 games with a total in the 120s. It is 2-5 O/U in its last 7 and 4-12 O/U this season.

The Bulldogs rank 12th in the nation in opponents’ field goal percentage (38.2%). The Tigers are also strong defensively and have gone Under in 2 of their last 4 games.

Mississippi State may not have the offense to keep pace, and with both teams thriving on defense, back the UNDER 128.5 (-110).
