Folks are accustomed to seeing the Alabama Crimson Tide (21-3, 15-9 ATS) steamrolling the SEC, but as they arrive to face their arch-rivals the Auburn Tigers (17-7, 12-12 ATS), this isn’t the way the Tide usually rolls.

Leading the way for Alabama are a pair of freshmen. Forward Brandon Miller is averaging 19.0 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game. He could be the best freshman in the nation. Miller scored a team-leading 24 in Alabama’s most recent victory over Florida. He’s hit 44% of his 3-pointers.

Freshman forward Noah Clowney (10.0 ppg, 8.1 rpg) paced the Houston upset with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Junior guard Mark Sears, an Ohio transfer, is putting up 13.9 ppg and 3.7 rpg.

Alabama vs Auburn Prediction

Alabama is so dominant this season that KenPom is projecting the Crimson Tide to win the SEC title by four games. That would be the largest margin of victory in the conference since Kentucky won by five games in 2015.

Alabama is the #2 defense in the nation at stopping the 3-point shot, allowing just a 26.1% success rate. The Tide are also #5 in the NCAA in scoring margin, winning on average by 15 points per game.

Auburn is actually a better ATS team on the road (6-3) than at home (5-7). The Tigers are 11-1 SU at home, but they are also 0-3 SU this season as a betting underdog.

Pick: Alabama -2 (-110)
