I like Auburn here who we are obviously buying low on after they lost back to back games, and everyone is rumoring that Gus Malzahn is out if he loses this game. I think he gets a full effort from his team against a team that may just not care. Ole MIss can't go to a bowl game, they just lost their #2WR in DK Metcalf to a neck injury for the season, and they have struggled on offense when they face elite defenses. Auburn's defense once was elite, and you could see them play that way here on Saturday. Auburn can still stop the run ranking 35th, and against they rank 25th. I think they can double cover A.J Brown and force Jordan Ta'amu to beat them another way.

On the flip side I think Auburn can give this a full effort before going into their bye. I'm not going to go crazy about their loss to Tennessee last week who was off a bye themselves. Jarret Stidham who I have criticized on my podcast just got down throwing for 300 yards for the first time. He is now facing an Ole MIss secondary that ranks 90th in QB Rating defense, and that rating comes against an average opponent QB rating of 75.16. Expecting a big game from Stidham who should finally have the balance of the running game as Ole Miss ranks 91st vs. the run. I think we have motivation on the side of Auburn, and we are getting line value for Auburn's recent play, and their offense finally should get going here.
