Okay, so Alabama and Auburn are going at it this Saturday for some college hoops at Auburn's place. We're gonna break down the game, check out the betting odds, and give you our prediction on who's gonna win. Basically, we're figuring out the best bet for this Alabama vs. Auburn game.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Team Preview!
Okay, so Alabama's season? Started hot, like, super hot. They were crushing it, only a couple of losses early on. Then, they went on a tear, winning a bunch. But lately? Rough patch. They've been dropping games left and right, even after a huge win streak. Basically, they're 23-7 now, which is still solid, but not as amazing as it looked a few weeks back.
That last game against Florida? Man, they were down by one at halftime, and just couldn't catch up. Ended up losing 99-94. Sears went off, 30 points, but it wasn't enough. Philon and Omoruyi chipped in, but Florida just had their number that night. Can they overcome recent results and grab one of their biggest wins of the season?
The Auburn Tigers
Team Preview!
Alright, Auburn's been straight fire this season. Seriously, they've barely lost. Started off strong, only a few hiccups here and there, and then just went on a crazy win streak. They're sitting at 27-3 now, which is insane.
That last game against Texas A&M though? They were down at halftime and just couldn't pull it back. Lost by a bunch. Pettiford had a good game, 19 points, and Baker-Mazara and Kelly chipped in, but it wasn't enough. So, with a record like that, and a recent loss, can they cover a spread this big against another elite team?

Game Prediction!
The Pick: Alabama +8.5
This is easily going to be the best game to watch to start off this big college basketball Saturday! Auburn's dominance in early games this season should not be taken lightly, with 12 wins in their last 13, it looks good when you look at Alabama's recent struggles against top-tier teams. The Tide's recent four-game losing streak against Top 5 opponents is a red flag. However, even with those concerns, laying a large number of points against an explosive offensive team like Alabama is very risky. Their ability to score in bunches could easily keep them within the spread, or even steal a win. I know Auburn's home-court advantage is a abig factor also but these Bama boys are experienced in hostile environments and can honestly spark a flame for Alabamas offense! This is just simply to many points to give to a team as good as Bama in a game like this, especially in the month of March!
