#546 Auburn Tigers -5 1/23-Units (1:00 P.M. CST)
Seems like the lines makers keep trying to compare this years Vanderbilt team to the Vanderbilt teams of the last couple of seasons. Their mistake! Vanderbilt has fallen to 1-5 in the SEC Eastern Division, and they have fallen because of key losses at home. Last season they were a very impressive 19-0 in home games, and although you don't expect that run to continue forever, you do expect better than a 11-4 home record, and most certainly didn't expect them to lose at home to a mediocre Illinois Chicago team.
The Auburn Tigers are an impressive 11-2 at home this season. They stumbled in their second game of the season, losing to Mercer by a 74-78 score, and lost by three points to Florida on the 14th of January. They have won three of their last 4 games, with perhaps the most impressive being a 73-51 win on the road at Arkansas last Saturday. The Tigers are led by Junior Guard DeWayne Reed who is averaging 14 points a game. Senior Forward Korvotney Barber is second on the team with 12 points a game, and also leads all Tigers with 9 rebounds per contest.
A big part of this game will be how well Vandy defends against the 3 ball of Auburn, and at this point Auburn holds a clear advantage. The Tigers are hitting 34% of their three's over their last 5 games, while Vandy has shown that they can't defend the three point shot, by allowing opposing teams to connect on 40% of their shots over their last 5 games. Vandy is under a lot of pressure to get things turned around in the SEC, and will certainly be in trouble after today's loss.
Take the Auburn Tigers -5 1/2 for 3-Units!Thanks and Good Luck.
