Auburn at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 78, Auburn 76
Moneyline
PASS.
Tennessee (-245) should pick up the win, but the Vols are slightly too heavy of a favorite to risk betting on. Back the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN AUBURN +5.5 (-104).
Auburn has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 outings and is 6-3-1 ATS in its last 10. Auburn has also covered in back-to-back matchups vs. Tennessee and is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. The Tigers have also been the better team ATS this season, being 17-8-2 while the Volunteers are 13-13-1.
This is only a lean because both Auburn and Tennessee have been hot ATS recently. Both teams are 5-2 ATS each over their last 7 games.

LEAN OVER 151.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 2 of Auburn's last 3 games and 4 of 6, while the Over is 15-11-1 for Tennessee this season.
The Over has also hit in 8 of the last 10 Auburn-Tennessee matchups.
Both of these squads are very good defensively. Auburn allows 67.3 points per game, according to Covers.com, while Tennessee yields 66.6 PPG. So, this bet does have a fair amount of risk. However, both offenses average more than 80.0 PPG -- Auburn at 82.7 PPG and Tennessee at 80.3 PPG.
