With a 19-14-1 record against the spread, the Hurricanes covered four of their previous five matches, including a close loss to Duke in the ACC Tournament. The Hurricanes are also a great bet on overs, with a 20-14 record, albeit their game versus USC came up just short of the betting total.

#10 Miami Hurricanes vs #2 Auburn Tigers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #10 Miami Hurricanes. With an offense that is difficult for even great opponent teams to contain, the Hurricanes appear to be undervalued, and Miami showed enough upside to beat Duke this season.

Auburn’s defense was enough to carry them over an overmatched 15 seed, but things become a lot tougher here, and their shooting woes, particularly on the road, remain a problem. Auburn’s single major flaw this season is guard play, and a Miami defense that forced turnovers on 20.5 percent of opposing possessions could be troublesome.

Although an outright shock is unlikely, this sneaky excellent Miami offense will be able to stay up with the favored Tigers. The #10 Miami Hurricanes will win to a predicted score of 75-70.
