Auburn at Mississippi State: Auburn -2.5

Get set for a defensive showdown on the court! Auburn’s defense is like a fortress, holding teams to a mere 37.8% shooting – that’s 6th best in the nation! They’re also doing a stellar job guarding that three-point line. The Bulldogs aren’t slouches either, ranking 7th in the country in 3PT% defense at 27.8%.

The over-under is at 146.5, hinting at a shortage of three-pointers, but my gut says Auburn’s got this. The Tigers are on fire, going 9-1 in their last 10, with a killer 7-1-2 ATS record. They’re out for redemption after a tough loss to Alabama.

But it’s not just about defense – Auburn’s offense is on another level. Rebounds, assists, and blocks are all in their favor. Mississippi State’s defense is no joke, but Auburn’s packing serious offensive heat. 

Result: Mississippi Cover by +9.5
