Comments

I’m going with Auburn for this game. Ole Miss is very good but they haven’t been tested much on the road. They nearly lost at Tennessee and were soundly defeated at Alabama. Auburn has a stout defense and it gets really loud in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturdays. Don’t be shocked if the Rebels leave town with a win though. A turnover here or there or a blown call by the officials could swing this one to the Rebels.
