Ole Miss vs Auburn predictions
Auburn -3 (-110)
Ole Miss has averaged 41.9 points per game along with 541.1 yards per game. However, the offense has only scored 31 in its last two games and has scored 31 or fewer in three of its last four.
That Ole Miss offense is supposed to be extremely dominant, and right now, it’s not really that. The Rebels were a bit cautious last week with quarterback Matt Corral, and while he didn’t go as hard as he could, he still led Ole Miss to an easy win against LSU.
Ole Miss is rushing for 263.3 yards per game and have done so well with Corral under center. He’s accounted for 24 touchdowns via rushing and passing this season.
However, the last time Corral and the Ole Miss offense went up against a premium defense like Auburn was when they faced Alabama. Ole Miss struggled to score points and lost that game 42-21.
Auburn has an elite defense that has allowed under 20 points per game with a fantastic pass rush and great coverage unit. The run game does just fine, and Auburn is making tackles at a solid rate in the open field.
The offense has been the big question mark for Auburn. Quarterback Bo Nix has been up and down this year, but ultimately, he's thrown for eight touchdowns and just two interceptions. He’s smart with the ball, and while he tries to do too much at times, sometimes he just works absolute magic in big situations.
I trust this Auburn defense and believe Nix and Auburn can run all over Ole Miss in this game.
Under 66.5 (-110)
You won’t find me expecting a high-scoring game going up against Auburn’s defense, at home. Ole Miss has scored 31 points or fewer in their last three of four and it won’t get any easier against Auburn.
Auburn has an elite defense that does plenty of things right. The Tigers are allowing 340.6 yards per game, compared to Ole Miss averaging 541.1 yards per game on the offensive end. Auburn will keep Ole Miss in check and below their averages.
The Tigers are going to win this game with help from their defense. The offense isn’t all that elite, but the running game is solid. If Auburn wants to win this game, the goal will be to limit possessions and run the football. If that’s the case, the Under will hit.
