Auburn at Mississippi State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Auburn 24, Mississippi State 20
Money line (ML)
Auburn has won 14 of the last 19 matchups against Mississippi State. With the exception of South Carolina, Auburn has only lost to ranked opponents.
Mississippi State has won only once since a season-opening win over LSU. Despite head coach Mike Leach’s reputation of having a high-powered offense, Mississippi State averages only 18.3 points per game. Auburn averages 25.9.
Take AUBURN -240.
Against the spread (ATS)
Auburn is 4-5 ATS but has covered the spread in only one of four road games. Mississippi State has yet to cover the spread at home.
If the Bulldogs are able to continue their trend of not turning the ball over, they should keep the game close. Their last three games have all been decided by exactly 7 points. With a 7.5-point spread, take MISSISSIPPI STATE +7.5 (-145).
Over/Under (O/U)
Neither team has gone Over much this season. Seven of Auburn’s nine games played to the Under. Mississippi State’s games have gone under in six of eight overall and six of its last seven. The Buldogs’ last five home games have gone Under and their last seven home games against Auburn have gone Under.
Take UNDER 47.5 POINTS (+105).
