Comments
This is another big SEC contest for this weekend between two teams battling for a position in the upper echelon of the SEC West. This game will take place at Auburn. The Tigers haven’t lost any home games this season to teams not named “Georgia.” Derek Mason, Auburn’s defensive coordinator, has done well with the Tiger defense this season. Look for the Tigers to stop the Bulldogs just enough to pick up the victory.
