Xavier at Auburn

The Auburn Tigers have a new coach with a long resume of success. Combine that with the addition of former Niagara standout Antoine Mason and some key holdovers, and Auburn is projected to be a vastly improved team. Mason has averaged just 15.3 points per game thus far after netting 25.6 ppg last season at Niagara. He is shooting just 42% and 25% from deep. The X-men have played well at 8-2 and have won three straight games. Xavier has a lot more answers and are a deep team that have seen nine players get 10 minutes or more of action on a nightly basis. I think in the end, Xavier just has more answers at this point as Auburn struggles to find their identity under a new coach. Auburn is just 8-21 ATS in their last 29 vs. a winning team, and often come up shy on the scoreboard vs. this caliber of opponent. Take Xavier on the moneyline.
