SEC Tournament: Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 8 seed Texas A&M Aggies (21-11) will battle the top-seeded Auburn Tigers (27-4) Friday in an SEC Tournament quarterfinal. Tip from Amalie Arena in Tampa is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Texas A&M, which was 9-9 in the SEC and had a first-round bye, beat the ninth-seeded Florida Gators 83-80 in overtime Thursday in the second round. The Aggies covered the spread as 3-point underdogs, improving to 18-13 against the spread (ATS) overall.

They have covered 5 straight and 6 of their last 7, and are 12-7 ATS in SEC games.

Auburn, which went 15-3 in conference play to win the regular-season crown, is 10-7-1 ATS against SEC opponents. Overall, the Tigers are 19-12 ATS but were just 2-7 ATS over their last 9 outings.

Auburn is ranked No. 4 in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Tigers are led by projected top-5 NBA Draft pick F Jabari Smith, who is averaging 17.1 points per game.

Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 74, Texas A&M 68

Money line

PASS.

I’ll do without predicting that No. 8 upsets the No. 1, but at the same time, there’s no chance one should consider betting Auburn’s -500 money line in March. Look to the points for value.

Against the spread

LEAN to TEXAS A&M +9.5 (-120).

These two SEC teams only met once this season with the Tigers rolling to a 75-58 victory and covering as 12.5-point home favorites Feb. 12. The Tigers held the Aggies to just 19-for-70 (27.1%) shooting.

While Auburn ranks seventh in the nation in opponents’ shooting percentage (38.3%), it allows the 13th-most offensive rebounds per game in the conference. That’s where A&M can keep this game close.

Auburn is 11-4 away from home and 16-0 at home. It has clearly struggled to keep the same dominance when not at Neville Arena.

Given the Tigers’ issues on the offensive glass and their recent inability to cover mixed in with the Aggies’ ability to cover conference games, I prefer playing the underdogs with the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 140.5 (-107).

If there’s one thing that both teams have been good at this season, it’s hitting the Overs.

The Aggies are 21-10 O/U, while the Tigers are 18-13 O/U. They’re a combined 7-2 O/U on a neutral site. In SEC play, the Aggies are a conference-best 13-6 O/U and the Tigers are 11-7 O/U.

Both the Tigers’ Smith and Aggies’ G Quenton Jackson (14.5 PPG) rank in the top 10 in the SEC in points per game at fifth and 10th, respectively.

The star power should be on display, and from what we’ve seen from each team this season, the Over feels like the best play this game has to offer.

Texas A&M at Auburn: Three things to know

  1. Texas A&M won a windy, rain-soaked game at LSU 20-7 but took an ATS loss as a 16-point home favorite last week. QB Kellen Mond struggled to find his groove in the poor weather conditions, completing 11 of 34 passes for 105 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
  2. Auburn got steamrolled by Alabama in the Iron Bowl 43-12 and wasn’t able to cover as a 25.5-point road underdog this past Saturday. Crimson Tide QB Mac Jones torched the Tigers for 302 passing yards with 5 touchdowns and no picks.
  3. Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn has outfoxed Jimbo Fisher in both Texas A&M-Auburn games since Fisher took the Aggies head coaching gig in 2018. The Tigers are 2-0 straight up and ATS, but the Aggies hold an edge in total yards (814-579) and first downs (51-29).

Texas A&M at Auburn: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Auburn 24, Texas A&M 17

Money line (ML)

Let’s not overreact to Auburn getting boat raced by Alabama in last week’s Iron Bowl. The Tigers were heavy underdogs for a reason, and the Aggies don’t have nearly the passing game the Tide does. Mond is ranked 80th in the country in completion percentage and 40th in passer-efficiency rating.

I give Auburn a real shot to win this game because I like how its offensive line matches up with Texas A&M’s defensive line. Auburn’s offensive line is 12th in line yards per carry, 10th in opportunity rate and 22nd in stuff rate; Texas A&M’s defensive line is 68th in opportunity rate and 98th in power success rate, according to Football Outsiders.

The Tigers can keep the chains moving and control the tempo of this game. I lean AUBURN +190 for a quarter-unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

Texas A&M’s rush defense numbers look good, but it hasn’t played many good rushing teams and no one as committed to the run as Auburn. Also, the Tigers defense can have a bounce-back game against a far less explosive Aggies pass game.

Plus, this is a pros vs. joes spot where 68% of the money bet is on the Auburn line, but 65% of the bets placed are on Texas A&M laying points. Auburn is 4-0 and 3-1 ATS at home this season and has covered three straight vs. Texas A&M. The Tigers generally improve as the season progresses. Auburn is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games in December.

GIMME AUBURN +6 (+105) for 1.75 units.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. The market has juiced the Over up to -134 and I don’t have as strong of a feeling on the Under as I do Auburn plus points.
