North Alabama vs Auburn Prediction 

Auburn comes into this matchup with plenty of momentum after starting the season with three straight wins, including a win over Houston. The Tigers are shooting 52.9% from the field and they have played excellent defense. North Alabama has won three of their first four games, but they haven’t played anyone near Auburn’s level. The Lions have shot the ball pretty well, but this Auburn defense is going to shut them down. I like the under in this game.
