Auburn Tigers vs. Ole Miss Rebels College Football Betting Preview, Odds and Predictions

Gus Bus Heads to Ole Miss for Battle of Struggling SEC Teams

Lane Kiffin brings plenty of sizzle wherever he goes to the coach. What he doesn’t always bring are NCAA Football betting wins. Kiffin has lost three of his first four games as coach at Ole Miss. Which is something his predecessor Matt Luke could have done. First-year changes will give Baby Kiff a pass. But for all of the hype, his record reeks of inconsistency. In like manner is the wild saga of Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. Gus Bus riders feel like they’ve been on a terrifying roller coaster. Malzahn keeps his job because he regularly beats Alabama.

Auburn Tigers at Ole Miss Rebels SBG Odds Overview

In this situation, the public is going to be leery of both sides. Auburn does boast a better online betting reputation. Regular bowls and wins over Alabama impress the masses. But War Eagle’s wild inconsistency scares away many sharps. Lack of reliable defense worries handicappers about Ole Miss. But the 9.5-points may entice action their way.

Auburn Tigers Team Overview

Last Saturday Auburn lost at South Carolina 30-22 as 3-point favorites. Under the total of 53.5 paid too. Auburn had early control but fell apart over time. As a result, the Tigers are 2-2 straight up and 1-3 both against the spread and under the total. Auburn ranks 64th for scoring offense and 25th for points allowed. Of great concern is the regression of quarterback Bo Nix. Last year’s freshman sensation is nowhere near meeting expectations. For all that Nix is not getting a lot of team support.

Ole Miss Rebels Team Overview

Ole Miss was beaten at Arkansas 33-21 as 1-point chalk on Saturday. So too did under a total of 77.5 pay as well. Now the Rebels are 1-3 straight up, 2-2 vs. the line, and 3-1 over the total. Ole Miss ranks 20th in the country for scoring offense and 77th for points allowed. Rebels quarterback Matt Corral threw six interceptions in the loss at Arkansas.
