College Basketball Betting Trends
Auburn
The Tigers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games. Auburn is 1-4 ATS in its last five games following an ATS win.
Arkansas
The Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS in their last six Tuesday games. Arkansas is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games following an ATS win.
Prediction:
These two squads are very fairly matched and it should be a great game. With Arkansas being at home and having a dynamite defense, I’m definitely leaning towards the hosts in this one. Auburn has lost two of its last three road games straight up and has certainly benefited from a fairly soft schedule to date that included a home-heavy schedule in the non-conference portion. I’d rather take the Razorbacks in what feels like less of a toss up and more like a game the hosts should be favored by a couple points.
