Ole Miss at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Auburn 35, Ole Miss 27
Money line
Ole Miss has piled up big rushing totals of late. In their last three games, the Rebels ran for 324 yards against Arkansas, 279 yards against Tennessee, and 265 yards against LSU.
But, Auburn presents a much tougher defense against the ground game than those three foes. The Tigers rank 34th in the nation, yielding just 126.1 yards per contest.
The Rebels are rounding out a multi-week grind portion of their schedule, while Auburn gets this one at home off a bye.
BACK AUBURN (-150).
Against the spread
Against the spread, Auburn is 12-5 over its last 17 games at home (11-2 as a favorite). In this series, the Tigers are 6-1-1 over the last eight meetings.
Ole Miss squeaked by with a cover at Tennessee two games back, but over the last three seasons, the Rebels are just 5-9 ATS away from Oxford.
TAKE AUBURN -2.5 (-122).
Over/Under
This one has slight indicators pegging an Under call. But the margin is paper-thin. PASS.
