The current betting odds have Auburn listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Auburn has looked great in their games this season with their 19-1 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They have looked great in their road games so far with their 4-1 road record and they only have 1 loss all season while playing in what could be the best conference in college basketball this season. Meanwhile, Ole Miss has looked good in their games this season with their 16-5 record overall and their 5-3 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have looked great on their home court this year with their 10-1 home record, but they haven't looked great lately as they have been struggling more in conference. They are coming off a win over Texas in their last one, but they only won that game at home by 3 points and did lose 3 games in a row right before that. Auburn is the best team in the nation at the moment, ranked number 1 overall, and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 12 wins in a row now. They were missing their best player for a stretch of the season too, but they have still lost just 1 game and look even better with him back in the lineup now. Ole Miss has been struggling a lot more against weaker teams lately and they won't have an answer for the best team in the country. The best way to place a bet here is on Auburn to cover the spread in this game.

“LSU started off with great effort and energy. They made some big plays defensively. You could see their athleticism.” - Bruce Pearl after his team’s win against LSU in their last game. 

“It’s just the next game on the schedule. We don’t overreact during the victory. Stay humble and get back to work. When things don’t go our way, you guys say we lost three games in a row, I see it a little bit differently. I thought we ran out of time on two of those games. To me, there’s a difference between running out of time and losing.” - Chris Beard after his team’s win against Texas in their last game.
