Best College Basketball Bets for Tuesday: Auburn vs. Texas A&M

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings)

Auburn vs. Texas A&M

While Auburn has covered both games it has played as underdogs, it still may be stewing about the non-foul call at the end of the Tennessee game, when the referees swallowed the whistle on a 3-point attempt when they were trailing 46-43. Texas A&M should have similar success defensively as the Volunteers had, as it ranks 57th or better in effective field goal percentage and turnover percentage forced (21.3%), while Auburn is outside the top 200 in both metrics offensively.

Texas A&M has a distinct advantage on the offensive glass (37.4% offensive rebounding percentage ranks 6th nationally), as the Tigers allow the 283rd-highest percentage of offensive rebounds (31.0%). In addition, the Aggies should be living at the free throw line, as they rank fifth nationally in free throws attempted per field goal attempt, while Auburn’s defense is 200th in the same category.

Texas A&M is 11-1 at home this year and has the SEC’s best cover rate. The Aggies are 14-9 ATS and have covered eight of 12 games as home favorites, and we expect them to do so again.

Bet: Texas A&M (-110 at DraftKings)
