In a game between SEC and national title contenders, Auburn is a 6.5-point favorite at home. In their last two games, the Tigers have defeated ranked opponents No. 15 Mississippi State (88-66) and No. 23 Georgia (70-68) back-to-back, rolling to ten consecutive victory. In their most recent game, Auburn defeated the Bulldogs on the road last Saturday night. Tahaad Pettiford scored 24 points off the bench in a game that came down to the last second and a late Georgia miss.
The Vols are going through a terrible period of play where they play eight ranked teams in ten games, and they have lost twice in their last five games. After dropping two of their last three SEC road games to Vanderbilt (76-75) and No. 8 Florida (73-43) they continue that on Saturday against Auburn.
