Commodores Spotlight

The Vanderbilt Commodores couldn’t hang with the Tennessee Volunteers in their last game, but they did manage to keep it within the 10-point spread. Offensively on the road, the Commodores rank 225th in points per game, 166th in field goal percentage, and 150th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Commodores rank 73rd in points allowed, 67th in field goal percentage, 32nd in 3-point shooting, and 145th in rebounding. 

Tigers Spotlight

The Auburn Tigers are coming off a nice blowout win over the Texas AM Aggies, while covering the 12-point spread in the process. Offensively at home, the Tigers rank 45th in points per game, 168th in field goal percentage, and 287th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Tigers rank 78th in points allowed, 16th in field goal percentage, 47th in 3-point shooting, and 258th in rebounding. 

Final Say

Auburn comes into this one as one of the best teams in the country, and also one of the most profitable. They are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games, and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games, but Vanderbilt comes to play when they face Auburn. Vanderbilt is 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 versus Auburn, while they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in Auburn. Auburn is coming off a nice blowout victory over Texas AM, and could possibly have a lookahead game in Florida, so the question is, are they going to go all-out against a 13-11 team tonight? By the looks of it, they don’t take Vanderbilt seriously and they’ll need somewhat of a blowout tonight to cover the 14-point spread, which back-to-back blowouts in the SEC is hard to pull off. Vanderbilt is 4-2 ATS on the road in SEC play as well. I’ll gladly take the points in this spot.

Pick: Vanderbilt Commodores +14
