The Pick

Auburn -3

This should be a fantastic game to check out on Saturday night, but we’re going to side with the Tigers at home based on this betting spot. It would’ve been great to get them at -2.5, but we don’t live in a perfect world. Auburn has had two weeks to prepare for this matchup, while Ole Miss has played in four tough games already this month and traveling on the road for this one makes for an even worse situational issue for the Rebels. Bo Nix has traditionally played well against SEC opponents in home games, so we’ll ride with the Tigers.
