Fade Auburn, Take Vanderbilt ATS
After dropping the last two games, No. 16 Auburn (16-4, 5-2) seems to be in trouble in SEC play. However, next on the schedule, Auburn will host Vanderbilt (5-15, 0-6), which has yet to win against an SEC opponent. While this should be a win for Auburn, covering the spread is a tricky inclusion for NCAAB picks today.
In the Commodores’ last game, they faced Tennessee and lost 75-62 at home, but they also covered a 13½-point spread. On the other hand, the Tigers failed to beat Mississippi State on the road, losing 64-58, despite being favored by three points.

Vanderbilt vs Auburn ATS Pick: Vanderbilt +18 -110
Based on the stats, Vanderbilt has a minimal chance of winning this game. The Commodores have not won a game in SEC play, and going up against a ranked Auburn team on the road that is undefeated at home does not seem like the place to start.
However, for college basketball spreads, it is a different story. Auburn has struggled recently, opening the door for Vanderbilt to come in and potentially keep things close enough to cover a pretty sizable spread.
While Vanderbilt is not on the same level as Alabama or Mississippi State, the two teams that have just beaten Auburn, the Commodores are at least improving. Covering a sizable ATS Tennessee is something that college basketball lines should be paying attention to.
Taking Vanderbilt to cover is more of a bet against Auburn being able to figure out the issues that plagued the Tigers on the road. The Tigers are still the better team but should not be favored by this much.
Vanderbilt vs Auburn Over/Under Pick: Under 143
One thing that could be concerning in picking Vanderbilt to cover against Auburn is if it can keep up offensively. However, that does play easily into taking the under for college basketball picks.
Against SEC opponents, Auburn has the toughest defense in the conference, allowing only 64.4 points per game. On the other hand, Vanderbilt has one of the worst offenses in conference play, averaging 63.7 points to rank 13th. Being on the road will make it even more difficult for the Commodores to have any offensive success.
On top of that, Auburn is coming off its lowest-scoring game of the season. The Tigers only scored 58 points against Mississippi State and have played through their defense all season. That has led to the Tigers hitting the under in seven of the last 10 games, four straight.
Vanderbilt vs Auburn Player Prop Pick: Johni Broome Over 17.5 points (-102)
The points in this game must come from someplace, and the most likely option is Johni Broome for Auburn. He is leading the team in points per game at 15.7 and has kept that consistent in conference play with 15.6. The Tigers should win this game, and while they might not need a big game from Broome, he should do enough to play a big part in the victory, especially at home.
