Auburn at Ole Miss picks and predictions
Prediction
Auburn 74, Ole Miss 71
Moneyline
PASS.
The Tigers are rolling and are the better team. They should come out on top despite being on the road, but they aren’t worth playing as -275 favorites.
Against the spread
BET OLE MISS +6.5 (-115).
The Tigers have won often on the road but haven’t covered with any consistency. They are just 1-4 ATS in away games and 2-3 ATS as single-digit favorites this season. The Tigers are 2-5 ATS in conference play as well.
The Rebels are 5-3 ATS in conference play and 2-2 ATS in their last 4 at home. They have scored at least 72 points in 6 of their last 7, so they should be able to keep pace with Auburn’s efficient offense.
Considering those trends, back OLE MISS +6.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 148.5 (-105).
The Rebels have a capable defense, allowing 69 or fewer in every home game this season. In SEC play, they have allowed 51 to Georgia, 65 to LSU, 63 to Texas A&M and 69 to Texas at home, going Under in all 4 games.
The Tigers have scored 70 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 games, going 1-2 O/U. They have allowed 68 or fewer in 4 of their last 5. With that in mind, back UNDER 148.5 (-105).
