aubiefifty 18,304 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 well here is one says we are a dog. lol who knows? Auburn football opens as very slight underdog to Ole Miss Lance Dawe 4-5 minutes eric Auburn football opens as very slight underdog to Ole Miss Auburn opens as an incredibly narrow underdog against the No. 10 team in the nation. The Ole Miss Rebels (6-1, 3-1 SEC) will travel up to Auburn to take on the No. 18 Tigers (5-2, 2-1 SEC) in a battle that has some very serious SEC West implications. Auburn controls its own destiny to Atlanta. If they win out (ESPN’s FPI gives Auburn a 0.3% chance to do so), they’re in the SEC championship game. Ole Miss needs a little extra help. If the Rebels defeat Auburn, they will need Alabama to lose one more game on their remaining schedule. Alabama’s best chance to lose (according to ESPN’s FPI) will come in their regular-season finale against Auburn (Auburn has a 17.3% chance to win as of October 24th). As would be expected, because the game is in Jordan-Hare Stadium, the line for this game is incredibly small in favor of Ole Miss. Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook Line: Ole Miss (-0.5) O/U: 66.5 Auburn is coming off of a huge momentum-building win over Arkansas on the road. The Tigers took their bye week this weekend as well, giving themselves time to both rest and prepare for Ole Miss on October 30th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that AU is favored in betting lines but ranked much lower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to post that you usually get 3 points just for being the home team…so away or neutral we’d prolly be ‘dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwn 336 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Depends on which Bo Nix shows up. Dude's so bipolar in his play. The one who balled out against Arky shows up, I think we got this one pretty good. Especially being at home I always like our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,896 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This is a watered down preview of Bama IMO - our converting 3d down and stopping them from having 3d and short is a HUGE part of this game. I personally think our D is capable of a crazy breakout game where they absolutely stuff a very good O. Hope this is it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as they go for it on 4th down, the 3rd down stops won't be the end of some of their drives. I hope our D has the breakout game you mentioned.

woodford 3,751 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Sounds about right. It’s home and Ole Miss doesn’t have great success against Auburn historically. I’m leaning Auburn because they have more talent, but OM has the better QB. I think it’s a real toss up. Thankfully it’s at home. Massive game for both programs for different reasons.

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This is a game that as a gambler, I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct so it’s telling us that straight up we are considered a slight underdog. Probably as close to even as they can get. We are both trying to prove our teams are breaking out of typical constraints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates 0 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Line is a huge “tell.” Harsin is 7-1 off bye weeks as HC. Ole Miss coming off 3 physical games. More than likely will be close (ole miss 4th down tendencies). However, line tells me Vegas is daring you bet OM. I’d take Auburn & the under FWIW.

Cardin Drake 2,085 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm feeling good about it, because we have the better defense. We need the offense that played Arky to show up and score 50, because Ol Miss will score some points. Matt Corral is scary, but if we can stuff the run we will be fine. Bo shines, and we win by 14.
