Auburn will have to deal with the sound of cowbells rings on Saturday night in Starkville as the Tigers take on Mississippi State in their regular season finale.

Per an early line from Vegas, Gus Malzahn’s team are favored by eight points over the Bulldogs.

Mississippi State has struggled in its first season under Mike Leach, currently standing 2-6 with its only wins coming against LSU and winless Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs have seen quite a few players opt out or transfer including preseason All-SEC running back Kylin Hill.

The Tigers are coming off their second straight defeat in a 31-20 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. Kevin Steele’s defense was gashed on the ground for 313 rushing yards by the Aggies in the loss.

Here are the rest of the early lines for SEC action on December 12:
