Auburn basketball game today: Tigers vs. Yale Line, Predictions, Odds
Auburn basketball is looking to have its first four-game winning streak of the 2021-22 season, and Yale is the unfortunate team opposite them today that has to stop that from happening.
Good luck to the Ivy League’s sixth-place team, Yale, which is making the trek from New Haven, Connecticut to the Plains to take on a red-hot Tigers team.
Bruce Pearl’s squad had their statement win of the season against UCF this past Wednesday when they put down the Knights at the Auburn Arena by 17, covering the spread and showcasing two-way dominance over an AAC contender.
Will they be able to continue making Tiger spread bettors happy today against a Yale team that has losses to America East foes like Stony Brook and Vermont on the schedule, while also owning a double-digit win over mid-major darling Milwaukee?
Let’s take a look at the Auburn basketball betting lines, odds, and TV information while laying a few predictions on the line (all lines courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook):

Yale vs. Auburn Pick and Prediction
15 points is a lot to lay, but this Auburn team showed on Wednesday that they can dominate a game with a lightning quick pace after outlasting USF in a possession by possession battle in Tampa a few weeks back.
Yale ranks #114 in the nation in pace and #113 in points per game, so this one is more likely to resemble the UCF game’s pace. That said, there’s no guarantee the Bulldogs are going to be contend well with the oversized Auburn frontline with a roster whose tallest player stands at six-foot-eight.
The over/under should be dictated by the Tigers, as this entire game should be. With the way they’ve been playing, the lean here is Auburn filling the Saturday void left by the underperforming gridiron Tigers’ regular season ending last Saturday.
