Chris’ Pick

I get that this is a huge number to give up in a spot between two solid teams like Auburn and Virginia Tech, but I just think that Auburn comes into this game and wins it by 11 or 12 points, something in the ballpark of Auburn 81, Virginia Tech 69. I think while Kidd matches up well with Broome inside, the Tigers are just too well-coached and too tough at home to go against here. Give me Auburn.
