Comments

Call me crazy but I’m going with Mississippi State in this one in an upset. I think State has one of the better defenses in the SEC. The two team’s offenses look about at the same level right now although Auburn does have a more experienced quarterback. I think the Tigers come into Starkville for this game a little flat and get decked.
