Betting on the Auburn Tigers
- Regular Season Record: 17-5
Auburn is fresh off a 94-73 decimation of the Georgia Bulldog last Wednesday, which was a great way for the Tigers to snap out of a two-game losing streak. The Tigers have now improved to 7-2 in the SEC and will go big-game hunting this Saturday against a fierce opponent in Tennessee.
If Auburn is to take down the Vols, the Tigers are going to need great performances from the inside-outside duo of Wendell Green Jr. and Johni Broome, who are the top-two scorers of the team. They combined for 37 points with Broome also grabbing 18 rebounds against Georgia. The Tigers are second in the SEC with a 53.2% shooting from inside the arc and fourth with a 50.4 eFG%.
Auburn is 4-1 ATS in its last five games.
Betting on the Tennessee Volunteers
- Regular Season Record: 18-4
Beating Tennessee is going to be easier said than done for the Tigers, though, it’s not impossible. For one, the Volunteers just suffered a 67-54 road loss to the Florida Gators on the road on Wednesday to see their win streak end at four games.
One thing to know about Tennessee is that it has yet to lose consecutively this season, so that’s a good sign for the team heading into Saturday’s meeting with Auburn. Moreover, the Volunteers still boast of a stellar defense that is arguably the best in Division I basketball, entering the Florida game second overall with just 55.1 points surrendered per game.
Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in its last five games.
JefeBet Prediction
Tennessee is going to rise back up with a convincing win in this matchup versus the Tigers. The Volunteers are 10-1 SU at home this season, while the Tigers are 4-3 SU in road games.
Prediction: Tennessee wins by at least 9 points.
