Auburn is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games. The over is 9-4 in Auburn’s last 13 games. Florida is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss. The under is 5-0 in Florida’s last 5 games. The favorite is 8-1 ATS in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings.
Auburn has played great basketball this season and has only lost one conference game, which was an overtime loss at Arkansas. Florida has not had the best season and is right in the middle of the SEC standings. I don’t see how you can’t pick Auburn in this matchup, given the way they have played this season.
