The current betting odds have Auburn listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Auburn has looked great in their games this season with their 21-2 record overall and their 9-1 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They have been a great road team so far with their 5-1 road record and they have a lot of impressive wins this season as they are ranked number 1 in the nation. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt has looked good in their games this season with their 17-6 record overall, but their 5-5 conference record has them right in the middle of the SEC. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 12-1 home record, but they haven't looked that good lately. They are coming off a home win over Texas in their last one, but they are still only 2-3 in their last 5 games and have struggled to beat stronger opponents. Auburn is coming off a loss in their last one, but they are still the best team in the nation and will be looking to bounce back in a big way here as they take out their frustrations. They are coming off a 9 point home loss to Florida in their last one and not only was that their first conference loss of the season and just their 2nd loss overall, that loss also snapped a 14 game winning streak they were on. Vandy has been beating up on bad opponents lately, but their losses have come against stronger opponents and now they are facing the best team in the nation at the worst possible time off a loss. Auburn is going to bring their best effort here to bounce back. The best way to place a bet here is on Auburn to cover the spread in this game.

“I’ll start off by congratulating Florida on a great, great victory, great game plan. I thought they, being down Martin, they really rallied. And Clayton was tremendous. Our gameplan defensively was to try to get the ball out of his hands. And after the first couple possessions, you would never know that that was our game plan.” - Bruce Pearl after his team’s loss against Florida in their last game. 

"Every one of these games are exciting. And the students have been, it's been a lot of fun to coach in this environment. Our guys love playing this environment, and I think (the students) stayed off the court today, so it's good for them.” - Mark Byington on his team this season.
