Georgia at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia Bulldogs (5-12, 0-4 SEC) and No. 2 Auburn Tigers (16-1, 5-0) meet in a Wednesday night SEC tilt at Auburn Arena in Auburn, Ala. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia vs. Auburn odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Georgia has coughed up an SEC-worst 75.1 points per game this season. The Bulldogs have allowed 82.8 PPG in going 0-6 since Dec. 22. That stretch includes setbacks at Kentucky and Mississippi State. Georgia is 0-5 away from Athens.

The Tigers tote a 13-game winning streak into this home tilt against Georgia. Auburn is terrific at both ends of the floor and is particularly adept at gaining net possessions in the turnover exchange. Over their last 12 games, the Tigers have forced 14.6 turnovers per game while committing 11.8.

Georgia at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 85, Georgia 61

Money line

PASS: too much house edge in the big gap between prices.

Against the spread

The Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a losing road record. They are 6-3 ATS in their last nine games against the Dawgs.

Auburn handles its business in games like this. Bruce Pearl‘s Tiger squads are 6-3 ATS over their last nine home games when favored by 20-plus.

AU has mostly been controlling its games, but the Tigers’ last effort — Saturday at Ole Miss — was a struggle for 30 minutes before eventually getting the contest into three-possession territory (and covering a 7.5-point spread). Look for a complete effort in this one and a shutdown of the Georgia offense.

TAKE AUBURN -21.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Look for Auburn’s defense to drive this win. But there is plenty of gray area with a spread this large. Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 150.5 (-110).

Auburn at Alabama odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Auburn Tigers at Alabama Crimson Tide odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 4 Auburn Tigers (14-1, 3-0 SEC) and No. 25 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-4, 2-1) tangle Tuesday in a 9 p.m. ET game at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Below, we look at the Auburn vs. Alabama odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Auburn hasn’t lost since Nov. 24, and its Southeastern Conference victories include wins over well-regarded LSU and Florida. The Tigers are among the best offensive teams in the SEC and are certainly among the top two or three defensive teams in the conference. They take care of the basketball while forcing turnovers at a healthy clip and play at a fast tempo.

Alabama went into this season after losing a couple of key figures from last year’s 26-7 team that bowed out in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. However, the Tide’s first nine games this season included eight wins, two of which came in early December against current-No. 2 Gonzaga and current-No. 11 Houston.

Those victories grabbed a lot of attention but the fanfare has subsided a bit since. UA has lost three of its last six games including a 92-86 misstep at Missouri Saturday. Alabama went into that game favored by 14.5 points.

Money line: Auburn +130 (bet $100 to win $130) | Alabama -160 (bet $160 to win $100)

Over/Under (O/U): 155.5 (O: -115 | U: -107)

Auburn at Alabama odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 80, Auburn 78

Money line

Auburn is the more consistent team and on decent trend lines at both ends of the floor. However, the Tigers are a very young team and this game in Tuscaloosa will present a challenge. A straight-up bet would require a tag a little higher. AVOID THE CURRENT PRICE.

Against the spread

The Crimson Tide are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as a favorite. The Tigers have won four in a row ATS.

Auburn is a lean, but again price has to be a consideration. Tag this TIGERS +2.5 (-105) wager as one to be made with a partial unit.

Over/Under

Auburn has been getting to the line with greater frequency of late. The Tigers have shot 39% or better from 3-point range in five of their last six games away from home.

This figures to be a fast-paced and close game. The winning team should post near-80 points or more. TAKE THE OVER 155.5 (-115).

Alabama at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Alabama Crimson Tide at Auburn Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1 SEC) and Auburn Tigers (6-5, 3-4) continue their 128-year-old rivalry Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium. Below, we look at the Alabama vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Alabama earned a hard-fought 42-35 victory over Arkansas last Saturday. QB Bryce Young threw for 559 yards and five touchdowns in the triumph in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide rank eighth in the nation in passing with 344.1 yards per game and second nationally with 44.4 points per game — only Ohio State has scored more.

The Tigers dropped their third straight game Saturday when they fell 21-17 at South Carolina as the Gamecocks held Auburn to just three points over the final 45 minutes. The Tigers are now 0-3 ATS over their last three games and are 2-6 ATS across their last eight games played in Weeks 10-13.

Alabama leads the Iron Bowl series 47-37-1. The two sides have split the last four games; Alabama won the 2020 meeting by a score of 42-13. The Tide didn’t allow an Auburn touchdown until late in the fourth quarter in that meeting.

Alabama at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 38, Auburn 20

Money line

PASS: figure the true odds as being obscured in the middle, and that saps the value from both plays.

Against the spread

The home side has held sway in recent games. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Crimson Tide are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games at Auburn.

The Auburn passing game — the Tigers’ preferred method of locomotion — doesn’t rely on a lot of big plays but it is one that does well to stay ahead of the chains.

And not being too run-reliant is a key against the Alabama defense. Auburn also does well to stifle havoc plays, and that’s another big key against the Tide.

Any “turnover luck” in the numbers has helped Alabama while hurting their neighbors to the east.

BACK THE TIGERS +20.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Tigers will utilize their aerial game, and the Crimson Tide will want as many style points as they can muster. On a decent-weather day in the Yellowhammer State, TAKE THE OVER 57.5 (-112).

Auburn at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

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

The No. 14 Auburn Tigers (6-2, 3-1 SEC) and No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies (6-2, 3-2) meet Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Auburn vs. Texas A&M odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

The Tigers took care of Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss team at Jordan-Hare last week by a 31-20 count, covering the 3-point number while the Under easily connected. Auburn has consecutive covers for the first time since Sept. 4-11 during the non-conference schedule.

The Aggies topped Alabama Oct. 9, and have been rejuvenated since. They pounded Missouri on the road, 35-14, and then waylaid South Carolina last week by a 44-14 count at Kyle Field, easily covering a 19.5-point number.

Against the spread (ATS): Auburn +4.5 (-110) | Texas A&M -4.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 49.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

Auburn at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 29, Texas A&M 26

Money line

AUBURN (+170) is playing a good brand of football right now, and I think QB Bo Nix is finally living up to the hype and playing well after some mediocre results early in his career.

The last time an Alabama school visited College Station, Texas A&M (-210) pulled off the upset, but I like the balance of the Tigers better and think they get it done on the road.

Against the spread

AUBURN +4.5 (-110) is a good play if you’re not quite feeling them straight up. This is going to be a close game between SEC West contenders, and neither can afford a third loss in the conference.

I just trust Nix and the Tigers offense a little more than QB Zach Calzada and the Aggies. Yes, A&M has looked good the past couple of games, but Mizzou and South Carolina pale in comparison to Auburn.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-112) is the lean here. Texas A&M has posted 35 or more points in three straight while hitting the Over in three of the past four. That includes the Alabama game. While Calzada and the offense struggled immensely early on, he has found his sea legs of late.

Auburn has hit the Over just once in the past four outings but is averaging 34.9 points per game on the season.

Ole Miss at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Ole Miss Rebels at Auburn Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels (6-1, 3-1 SEC) meet the No. 21 Auburn Tigers (5-2, 2-1) Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ole Miss vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

The Rebels defeated LSU, 31-17, Saturday and have won three games in a row. Ole Miss leads the SEC in total offense (541.1 yards per game), and the Rebels have been diverse in how they distribute the ball around their roster and how they mix in the run and the pass. Dual-threat QB Matt Corral has produced 15 touchdowns with his right arm and 9 with his legs.

The Tigers are coming off a bye week. They topped Arkansas, 38-23, as four-point underdogs Oct. 16. Auburn ranks 23rd in the nation with 35.4 points per game (PPG) on offense while ranking 29th with 19.7 PPG allowed on defense. Against Ole Miss, Auburn has won five in a row and 34-of-44 all-time meetings.

Over/Under (O/U): 66.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

Ole Miss at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 35, Ole Miss 27

Money line

Ole Miss has piled up big rushing totals of late. In their last three games, the Rebels ran for 324 yards against Arkansas, 279 yards against Tennessee, and 265 yards against LSU.

But, Auburn presents a much tougher defense against the ground game than those three foes. The Tigers rank 34th in the nation, yielding just 126.1 yards per contest.

The Rebels are rounding out a multi-week grind portion of their schedule, while Auburn gets this one at home off a bye.

BACK AUBURN (-150).

Against the spread

Against the spread, Auburn is 12-5 over its last 17 games at home (11-2 as a favorite). In this series, the Tigers are 6-1-1 over the last eight meetings.

Ole Miss squeaked by with a cover at Tennessee two games back, but over the last three seasons, the Rebels are just 5-9 ATS away from Oxford.

TAKE AUBURN -2.5 (-122).

Over/Under

This one has slight indicators pegging an Under call. But the margin is paper-thin. PASS.

Auburn at Arkansas odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Auburn Tigers at Arkansas Razorbacks odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 19 Arkansas Razorbacks (4-2, 1-2 SEC) host the Auburn Tigers (4-2, 1-1) Saturday at Razorback Stadium for a noon ET kickoff. Below, we look at the Auburn vs. Arkansas odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Auburn got crushed Oct. 9 at home against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs 34-10 as a 14.5-point home underdog, snapping a two-game winning streak. The Tigers’ only other loss this season was at the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions on primetime Sept. 19 in a “Penn State White Out” game.

Arkansas has lost back-to-back road games, first at Georgia 37-0 Oct. 2 then to the No. 14 Ole Miss Rebels 52-51 Oct. 9. However, the Razorbacks have exceeded the market’s expectations since they are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) this season.

Auburn squeaked past Arkansas in last year’s meeting 30-28 thanks to a game-winning field goal with 7 seconds remaining. Tigers senior QB Bo Nix is 2-0 vs. the Razorbacks with a 64.4% completion rate, four passing TDs, 0 interceptions, a 161.5 passer efficiency rating and two rushing TDs.

Over/Under (O/U): 54.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

Auburn at Arkansas odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 27, Arkansas 24

Money line

Slight “LEAN” to AUBURN (+160) for a tiny wager if at all because I “like” the Tigers plus the points and see a little value on the underdog’s money line.

This is a sell-high spot for Arkansas and a buy-low spot for Auburn. The market is excusing the past two Arkansas losses because the Razorbacks covered as underdogs at Ole Miss and weren’t expected to on the road vs. Georgia.

On the other hand, the Tigers are a more popular football program so there’s more attention and scrutiny when Auburn losses. Especially in high-profile, nationally televised games like against Georgia and in primetime vs. Penn State.

Arkansas ranks ninth in rushing rate, but Auburn has the edge in the trenches and stout rushing defense. Auburn’s defensive line ranks fifth in the country in line yards per play (according to Football Outsiders) and 21st in yards per rush allowed (3.2).

Against the spread

Definitely BET AUBURN +4.5 (-115) heavier than or instead of the money line based on the aforementioned logic. Ultimately, I have more faith in Auburn’s ability to win the line of scrimmage and dictate the pace.

Each team has a mobile quarterback and likes to establish the run. But Auburn is much better at stopping the run whereas Arkansas’s defense is 85th in yards per rush allowed (4.5).

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 54.5 (-112) for a half unit as a fade against a market that’s betting the Over at a 66% clip at the time of this publishing (according to Pregame.com).

I see this game getting played in the trenches and there’s going to be a lot of running clock with each team looking to pound the rock.

Georgia at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (5-0, 3-0 SEC) travel to meet the No. 19 Auburn Tigers (4-1, 1-0) Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Bulldogs flexed a little muscle last weekend against Arkansas, burying the Razorbacks 37-0 in between the hedges to easily cover a 16.5-point number. That’s back-to-back shutouts for Georgia, blanking the opposition by a combined score of 99-0. UGA is 4-1 ATS overall.

The Tigers went down to Baton Rouge and topped LSU 24-19 to cover as 3-point underdogs. Auburn is averaging just 26.0 points per game (PPG) across the past three games after averaging 61.0 PPG in a pair of tune-up games to start.

Over/Under (O/U): 46.5 (O: -115 | U: -107)

Georgia at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 33, Auburn 10

Money line

Georgia (-800) will cost you eight times your potential return, and even though it has been rolling right along, there’s just no value there.

AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

GEORGIA -15.5 (-108) rolled against Vanderbilt, but that wasn’t much of a surprise. But the fact they put the clamps on a good Arkansas side was a bit more of a shock. The Bulldogs kept the Razorbacks from scoring, and Arkansas has a very good offense.

Auburn has struggled on offense as QB Bo Nix just isn’t terribly consistent. It’s unlikely he’ll find himself against one of the best defensive units in the nation.

Over/Under

The UNDER 46.5 (-107) is the play as Georgia has allowed nothing defensively. While I don’t expect a third consecutive shutout the Bulldogs defense, I also don’t expect Nix and the Tigers to go wild.

Plus, Auburn’s defense is good enough to at least keep Georgia’s offense somewhat in check.

Auburn at LSU odds, expert picks and prediction

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

It’s a battle of the Tigers in Baton Rouge, La., Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET between the Auburn Tigers (3-1, 0-0 SEC) and LSU Tigers (3-1, 1-0). Below, we look at the Auburn vs. LSU odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Auburn has had an unbalanced schedule with one brutal road tilt at Penn State in Week 3 (a 28-20 loss) surrounded by three wins against Georgia State, Alabama State, and Akron. The Tigers are one of just two teams in the country with a top-20 offense and defense in terms of yards per play (7.1 and 4.5, respectively). The other is Arkansas.

LSU has recovered from its opening-week loss to UCLA, reeling off three straight wins including a 28-25 nailbiter over Mississippi State last week. QB Max Johnson has an excellent 15/3 TD/INT ratio and is averaging 8.5 yards per attempt; however, LSU’s pass defense looked porous without star CB Derek Stingley Jr., in the Mississippi State game (371 yards, 3 TDs). Stingley is questionable as of publishing.

Over/Under (O/U): 55.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Auburn at LSU odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 30, LSU 27

Money line

LSU is getting most of its 3.5-point boost because this is a home game at night. Auburn has shown it can handle a hostile road environment, hanging tough at Penn State earlier this season, and the uncertainty around Stingley has us leaning slightly toward the road underdog.

Maximize your odds and take AUBURN (+140) in what should be a thriller.

Against the spread

We’re not wholly convinced LSU can pull away given what we’ve seen from Auburn this year. With such a small spread, it’s better to PASS here and get a better payout on the money line.

Over/Under

It’s a slight lean on the OVER 55.5 (-110) given Johnson’s development as a passer along with the potential loss of Stingley to open up the passing game for Auburn.

Georgia State at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia State Panthers (1-2) and Auburn Tigers (2-1) meet Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia State at Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers were able to ease by Charlotte last weekend by a 20-9 count, winning and covering for the first time in three tries. It was also the first Under result after allowing 51.0 PPG in the first two games.

The Tigers, No. 23 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, had their way with Akron and FCS Alabama State in the first two games, rolling up 61.0 PPG. However, the Tigers were humbled a bit at Penn State Saturday falling 28-20.

Over/Under (O/U): 57.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

Georgia State at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 48, Georgia State 17

Money line

Auburn (-3000) is going to push past Georgia State (+1100) before getting knee-deep in the SEC schedule. While this game should be one-sided, there is no sense risking 30 times your potential return. There is just no value here.

AVOID.

Against the spread

AUBURN -26.5 (-117) is the play in this one as the Tigers get a final tune-up before things get much more difficult in conference play.

I still don’t trust QB Bo Nix to roll up big numbers, especially against top-notch teams. However, in this glorified scrimmage against a middle-tier Sun Belt squad, he should show out, and RB Tank Bigsby will roll up huge offensive numbers.

Over/Under

OVER 57.5 (-108) is the play here as the Auburn offense can be trusted against non-Power 5 teams. They made it look easy in routs of Akron and Alabama State. Georgia State allowed 43 points to Army in the opener and 59 points to North Carolina Sept. 11. Expect the Tigers to add to GSU’s defensive woes.

The Tigers, No. 20 in the AFCA Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, have been on fire offensively, although they haven’t exactly been tested by the best.

Auburn rolled Akron 60-10 in its home opener, covering a 37-point number. Last week, they spanked FCS Alabama State 62-0, covering a 49.5-point spread. The Over has cashed in each game.

The Nittany Lions, No. 12 in the poll, opened the season on the road with a 16-10 upset of Wisconsin while picking up a 44-13 win over Ball State last week to cover a 23-point number. They’re 2-0 ATS, while hitting the Under in each outing.

Auburn at Penn State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 30, Penn State 27

Money line

AUBURN (+160) hits the road for the first time, and they are rolling along on offense. This will easily be its biggest test of the season after a couple of layups at home. However, this offense has a ton of confidence, and if anybody is going to solve the Penn State (-200) offense, it’s Auburn.

Against the spread

AUBURN +4.5 (-115) is worth a play with the points if you don’t quite trust them to go to Happy Valley to pull off the outright win.

The Tigers have registered 575.5 total yards per game in the first two games against Akron and Alabama State, including 340.0 rushing yards per contest. While that’s all well and good, they won’t be able to thrash this Penn State defense.

Penn State -4.5 (-105) has allowed just 327.0 total yards per game and 121.5 rushing yards per outing. You can expect the Auburn offense to be not quite as powerful, but you can also expect the Penn State defense to not be as suffocating.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-112) is the play here as Auburn’s offense has been playing well and rolling up huge numbers. They’ll take a step back, as Penn State has a solid defense, and this is the first road test for the Tigers.

These teams have the skill position players to push for a total in the high 50’s to near 60.
