Alabama fans need a pick-me-up following their team’s loss to the Georgia Bulldogs for the NCAAF National Championship last night. Auburn basketball is in no rush to provide that.

If anything, the Tigers have the potential to make matters worse for Crimson Tide fans at Coleman Coliseum on Tuesday night.

Starting off SEC play 3-0 with two double-digit home victories over LSU and Florida coupled with a triumph over the Gamecocks in Columbia, South Carolina’s Colonial Life Arena, Bruce Pearl’s group is sitting at #4 in the AP Top 25.

And while rankings matter little ahead of the NCAA March Madness Selection Committee’s brackets being made official, it’s still nice to know that AU could be on its way to being #1 in something after watching Alabama and Georgia spend the entire college football season at the top of the totem pole and follow that up with an SEC Championship and National Championship, respectively.

Alabama vs. Auburn Pick and Prediction

Alabama comes into this one reeling off a very bad loss to Mizzou, who has lost by 25+ points this season to the likes of Illinois, Kansas, and Kentucky. They also own losses to Iona, Davidson, and Memphis.

On the flipside, Auburn is rolling off of one of the season’s best wins against Florida at the Auburn Arena. Despite coughing up a big lead in the second half, they closed the door on the Gators in the final minute to cover the spread.

Good teams win, great teams cover as they say.

It’s somewhat shocking to see the Tigers as the underdog even in a hostile Coleman Coliseum, so with the Tide laying three points, back those Tigers tonight in Tuscaloosa.

Pick: Auburn +3.0 (-115)
