Monmouth vs Auburn Prediction

This Auburn team is really good and are tied for No. 6 in the nation in Points Per Game (88.4) and are No. 8 in Assists Per Game (19.2) and can get production on any given night from a number of different guys. The Tigers have topped 100 points 2 times already and 90 points 3 times and have been a strong Over team (8-4-0). This Monmouth vs Auburn NCAAB pick will look for a 38- to 42-point Win with the Home Site, Rest, and Rosters all weighing heavily into this handicap. If the Tigers can trample a decent Ohio State team by 38 points, manhandling Monmouth at Neville Arena (5-0) shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
