Auburn +7 -120 4% play
Auburn has not been good on the road playing poorly at Cal, Texas AM, and LSU, but at home they took Georgia to the wire losing by only 7 points, and dominated their other two lesser opponents. I look for Auburn to give Ole Miss issues and have a chance to pull an outright upset. This is clearly a game Hugh Freeze had circled going up against the team that fired him or forced him to resign. We saw a similar situation last year with Brett Bielama and Illinois who went into Wisconsin as dogs and won 34-10. We also get Auburn in a buy low situation after they got crushed by LSU a week ago 48-18 after getting off to a slow start it just snow balled.
On the flip side Ole Miss has not looked very good on the road; they struggled against Tulane for the majority of the game, got handled by Alabama, and even in their last game against Arkansas at home they struggled. They come off the bye, but I don’t think this team deserves this much credit to be nearly a TD favorite on the road in the SEC and with the majority of the $ coming in on Ole Miss the oddsmakers refuse to move this to 7, which leads me to believe that Auburn is the right side. Hugh Freeze as a HC is 36-19 ATS at home, 11-3 ATS as a dog. Ole Miss just 3-20 ATS as road favorites of less than 8 points, and are just 3-17 all time on the road in the series.
