Alabama at Auburn picks and predictions
Prediction
Alabama 79, Auburn 75
Moneyline
ALABAMA (+172) is a strong value on the road in this rivalry game. While Auburn (-210) will have revenge on its mind, the Tigers aren't playing very good basketball lately. Yes, the Tigers pounded a bad Vandy team, while getting the job done at Ole Miss, but it struggled offensively against Alabama and Mississippi State.
The Crimson Tide has won 4 in a row, and 10 of the past 11 games, with just a setback at Tennessee on Jan. 20 during the span. Alabama has won 3 in a row in this series, too, while going 5-2 SU in the past 7 meetings.
Against the spread
ALABAMA +4.5 (-102) is a good play if you're a little more conservative, and you just can't bring yourself to play the road team straight up.
Both of these teams have been hot against the number lately, but the Tide has a 5-3-1 ATS edge in the past 9 in this series, too, including 3 covers in the past 4 trips to Auburn.

Over/Under
UNDER 163.5 (-110) is worth a look in this Yellowhammer State rematch despite the Over holding a 5-3 edge in the past 8 meetings in this series and cashing in 3 of the previous 4 battles at Auburn.
While the Over has hit in 5 of the past 7 games for the Tide, the total has gone low in 5 of the past 6 outings for the Tigers.
