Alabama vs. Auburn Bet
Nothing beats the Iron Bowl. Who cares if it is a basketball game and not football. SEC basketball is just as fun as SEC football these days. Sure, neither team is ranked inside the top 25, but this rivalry always packs a punch. Auburn is coming off a loss to Tennessee after four straight wins. Meanwhile, Alabama is coming off a close win over Texas A&M following their loss to Florida. I have a lot of thoughts and a play I am in love with, so let us dive in.
System Play Alert!
This is a new system play I am trying out, and it came through on Wednesday when Alabama failed to cover the 8.5 against Texas A&M following their loss to Florida in the obvious get right spot. I am making a point to fade these obvious spots and instead taking the spot after the spot, if you will. So, in the Iron Bowl, this feels like the real spot to back the Crimson Tide. I snagged them at +2.5, and I will continue testing this going forward. It is the true definition of insanity to keep betting spots that worked in the past and continue when they no longer do. On top of that, sportsbooks bake this scenario into the number. They know the spots too, it is no secret.
Auburn's Flaws
On the year, the Tigers have been one of the best teams inside their home gym, ranking eighth on Haslametrics in away-home court. Alabama, on the other hand, has had its fair share of struggles away from its home gym. However, Auburn does have some flaws. For starters, they rank 238th in three point defense and 255th in three point rate defense. The Crimson Tide are a lethal three-point shooting team when they catch fire, and that is where the Tigers could struggle. Auburn also ranks 122nd in two-point percentage defense. Despite their road issues, Alabama is 41st in two-point percentage.
The biggest concern when backing this Crimson Tide team is always the defense, because they are going to try to score their opponent into submission. They are the second fastest team in the country outside of their home gym.
That said, through five true road games, their defense ranks 52nd in eFG%, 39th in three-point percentage, fourth in three-point rate, and 83rd in two-point percentage. They are showing up defensively on the road. Not to mention, they rank as the 18th best offense, protect the basketball at a very high rate, and attack the rim efficiently. That combination gets them to the free throw line at a top 75 rate.
The Crimson Tide were likely looking ahead to this matchup on Wednesday, and if that is the case, catching two points feels like a gift. If Alabama is making their shots from deep, this game is theirs.
