College Basketball *AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE*
(NCAAB) Mercer vs. Auburn,
Point Spread: -10.50 | -110.00 Auburn (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Auburn Tigers
Rating: 8*

The Auburn Tigers will host Mercer Bears Sunday afternoon, and my money is on the home team to win and cover the spread. Auburn is 4-1 ATS in its last five games as a home favorite of 7.0-12.5 while Mercer is 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 games as a road underdog. Auburn tied an SEC record with 21 3-pointers and shot 55.6 percent in Thursday's 117-72 blowout victory as an 11.5-point favorite against Coastal Carolina. Mercer fell 90-47 at Clemson on Dec. 10, and I'm not sure that much rest is beneficial.
