The No. 16-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide wrap up their regular season with a clash against the Auburn Tigers tonight.
The Tide beat the Tigers 96-92 at Neville Arena last month, and my Auburn vs Alabama predictions expect an even bigger victory at home.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this conference rivalry on Saturday, March 7.
Auburn vs Alabama prediction
Auburn vs Alabama best bet: Alabama -4.5 (+100)
Before defeating SEC bottom-feeder LSU, Auburn had gone 2-7 SU and 0-9 ATS in its previous nine games.
Auburn ranks last in the conference in opponent eFG% (56.6%) and is set to be overwhelmed by an elite Alabama offense. The Tigers won’t have the firepower to keep up, shooting just 49% from two-point range since the start of February.
While Auburn's biggest offensive strength is drawing fouls, Alabama has the lowest opponent free-throw rate in the SEC. Expect the Crimson Tide to jump out to an early lead.

Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. has eclipsed 2.5 threes in nine of his last 13 games. He'll torch a Tigers squad that has allowed foes to shoot 44% from deep over their last 10 games.
The Tide average 93.6 ppg at home, and if Philon knocks down more than 2.5 triples, there's a strong chance they clear their team total.
