Latest Odds: AUB -10 Total 162

The Rebels find themselves sitting in 3rd place in the SEC, which is in good company.  The only downside is the company is crowded in this spot as 3 other teams are holding the same position in the SEC and one of those is the Wildcats from Kentucky.

The Rebels are putting in 79.2 points a game on the average side of the ball. The downside is the defense needs to really improve because the Rebel defense is giving up 74.5 points a game and that can easily cost the Rebels later on down the stretch.

Auburn is sitting right ahead of the Rebels in the standings as the Tigers are in second place in the SEC, but they are only a half game back from being caught up to the Gators on the season. So any win here could really help propel the Tigers season to the upper levels they would like to think they can reach.

The Auburn squad has been scoring at a clip of 87.3 points a game, which is a very good clip for the team. The defense for the Tigers has been giving up 73.1 points a game, but the offense is easily keeping pace with the defensive shortcomings.

Pick: Ole Miss Rebels +10

This line is way inflated thanks to the struggles of Ole Miss but think the Rebels are a better team than what they have shown. Add in that Auburn is coming in over confident after really hot streak as of late and think it allows us bettors to cover with the underdog. Final Score Prediction, Auburn Tigers win but fall short ATS 82-78.
