Betting on the Alabama Crimson Tide
- Regular Season Record: 21-3
The one thing to know about Alabama is that it is among the top teams in the nation. The Crimson Tide have a balanced game most other schools don’t have. They are inside the top 25 in Division I basketball in adjusted offensive and defensive efficiencies. Freshman 6-9 forward Brandon Miller has been a crucial piece for Alabama.
He is an efficient scorer who can score inside and outside in a consistent manner. He perfectly compliments junior guard Mark Sears, who is a pretty solid scorer as well. As a team, Alabama just shines on both ends of the floor, just as it did in its most recent outing on the road which was a 79-69 win in Baton Rouge last Saturday against the LSU Tigers.
Auburn is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games away from home.
Betting on the Auburn Tigers
- Regular Season Record: 17-7
Auburn fell short once again in its last game, as the Tigers lost to the Texas A&M Aggies on Tuesday, 83-78. The Tigers are now just 0-2 in their last two games and 1-4 in their last five. Their last two losses were both on the road, so perhaps a return back to Neville Arena will work wonders for Auburn, which still owns a stout defense.
On the season, Auburn is allowing only 93.4 points per 100 possessions adjusted which is ranked 16th overall in Division I basketball. Centers Dylan Cardwell and Johni Broome can get the job done in the paint defensively, as they’re boasting block rates of 11.6 and 10.6, respectively. Auburn is 5-1 ATS in its last six games.
JefeBet Prediction
Alabama is just too good. It’s hard to beat this team because its opponents have to be excellent on both ends to contain the Crimson Tide, who will always have at least either their offense or defense clicking on the rare nights that BOTH of those aren’t.
Prediction: Alabama spread.
