Alabama is having a good 2023/24 season. To date, they have a home record of 8-1 and a Conference record of 4-1. But they are up against one of the in-form teams in men’s NCAA basketball, the Auburn Tigers.
The Tigers are on a winning streak of 11 and are sweeping all before them. They have only lost twice this season, and as a result of their recent winning streak, Auburn now leads the betting to win the Southeastern and are also among the favorites to win the 2024 NCAA Basketball Championship.

The Alabama Crimson Tide sits third in the Southeastern with a Conference record of 4-1. Overall, the Crimson Tide are a disappointing 12-6 this season. At home, their record reads 8-1. And on the road, they are 2-2.

The Auburn Tigers sit at the top of the SEC with a 5-0 Conference record. Auburn has an overall record of 16-2 this season. At home, they are 10-0. And on the road, they are 2-1. Just in case you need reminding about how good their recent form is, they are on a winning streak of 11.
One note of caution. The Tigers are yet to play any of the other three leading front runners in the betting to win the SEC. Tonight’s game against the Crimson Tide will be their biggest test in the Conference this season, with their respective matches against Kentucky and Tennessee to follow in February.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Auburn Tigers Betting Picks
The Crimson Tide have a good home record. Their only defeat this season at the Coleman Coliseum came against the Clemson Tigers in November. On that occasion, Alabama lost 85-77. Since that loss, the Crimson Tide has won four in a row at the Coliseum.
As for Auburn, we have already pointed out they are yet to face any of the big boys in the SEC, meaning we will only find out if they are the real deal when they square off against Nate Oats’ team tonight.
This makes calling the winner of this match hard. So, we are going to focus on the total points market.
The spread is 162, the exact number of points scored in Alabama’s last match against Tennessee – albeit away. In the last four matches at the Coliseum, Alabama has covered 162 comfortably on two occasions (178 points vs. Eastern and 168 vs. Missouri), has just missed it once (157 vs. Liberty), and fell well short once (121 vs. South Carolina). As for Auburn, they scored 80 and 83 on their two most recent road trips.
We feel over 162 points is the pick for this match. But if you want a match-winner pick, we would go with Alabama to win on the money line.
