Free Betting Pick: Auburn Tigers -2
The Auburn Tigers have been playing at a high level for the last month, and the dominating win over Tennessee in the SEC championship clarified how dangerous this team can be. Auburn has an electric group of guards as Brown and Harper are combining for 31 PPG which makes up 39% of the points for one of the top offenses in college basketball. Kansas looked good against Northeastern, but I can’t trust them to play like that on a consistent basis after laying a dud in the regular season and Big 12 Tournament. Auburn wins and cover, 78-71.
