Auburn opens as favorites over Mississippi State at BetMGM

Auburn will look to break a two-game losing streak as the Tigers travel to Starkville to take on Mississippi State on Saturday.

Auburn is stumbling into its last regular season game of 2020 after losing back-to-back games for the first time since 2018.

Luckily for the Tigers, they get to play against a team that is even more on the struggle bus in Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are 2-6 in Mike Leach’s first season in Starkville and have seen a slew of players either opt out or transfer.

At BetMGM, Auburn has opened as a 7.5-point favorite over State for the 7:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

The Tigers held a 20-14 lead against No. 5 Texas A&M this past Saturday but were outscored 17-0 in the fourth quarter and held to just 21 total yards in the last 15 minutes in a 31-20 loss.

Here are the rest of the lines for SEC action this weekend:
