This Saturday on The Plains, the Auburn Tigers host the Missouri Tigers. But from there, the similarities are quite different. Since sacrificing their football program on the political correctness altar, Mizzou hasn’t been the same. The 2015 player strike was a College Football betting dagger to the program. Previously, Mizzou won the SEC West in 2013 and 2014. And MU was a strong recruiter. On the other hand, Auburn was done in this past offseason by its perpetually meddling boosters. The boys that write the checks don’t like head coach Bryan Harsin. Especially after their loss to Penn State.

Missouri at Auburn SBG Odds Overview
Few sportsbook brands have been as badly damaged as the Missouri Tigers. And a blowout loss to the Kansas State Wildcats did not enhance Mizzou’s appeal with gamblers. Despite their offseason from hell, Auburn was a respected brand on the board with most gamblers. But their loss to Penn State was a deal breaker for many gamblers.
Missouri Tigers Team Overview
Last game, the Missouri Tigers got a 34-17 win against the Abilene Christian Wildcats as 31.5-point favorites. The game went under the total of 56.5. Mizzou has a record of 2-1 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 1-2 over/under the total.
Mizzou QB Brady Cook finished the contest 21-of-30 passing for 292 yards and three scores. Following 128 passing yards with two interceptions against Kansas State last week.
Missouri needs better performances from its offensive line. To show, MU committed six penalties for 55 yards on Saturday against the Wildcats. Coach Eli Drinkwitz says he’s still searching for the best combination of five starters. So more lineup tinkering may loom ahead.
Drinkwitz delivered plenty of praise for his defense after the win. Of great concern are the team’s nine penalties and the offense’s 5-of-15 performance on third down.
Auburn Tigers Team Overview
Last game, the Auburn Tigers suffered a 41-12 loss against the Penn State Nittany Lions as 2-point dogs. The game went over the total of 48. Auburn has a record of 2-1 straight up, 0-3 against the spread, and 2-1 over/under the total.
Namely, Nicholas Singleton and Kaydron Allen combined for 176 rushing yards and four touchdowns as No. 22 Penn State cruised to an easy payout at Auburn on Saturday. The Nittany Lions’ freshman running backs were instrumental in the red zone. Penn State scored touchdowns on each of its first four trips inside the 20-yard line. Meanwhile, Quarterback Sean Clifford passed for 178 yards.
The Penn State defense forced four turnovers by Auburn. Also, the Nits held Tigers star running back Tank Bigsby to 39 rushing yards. Auburn quarterback T.J. Finley had 152 passing yards, an interception, and a lost fumble. In turn, he was replaced in the second half by Robby Ashford. Penn State finished with 245 rushing yards to Auburn’s 119. To show, the Nittany Lions averaged 6.3 yards per carry. That is the most the Tigers have allowed since a 2020 loss to Texas A&M.
