Although Auburn is improving, they are not a serious Betting on College Football contender. Last week, the Auburn Tigers and new head coach Hugh Freeze got their first serious test to the 2023 season. Freeze and his Tigers traveled to Kyle Field to face the Texas A&M Aggies. At the onset of the season, the Aggies stumbled out of the gate. But A&M remains capable. Especially in front of a large crowd at College Station. The Aggies wore down Auburn in a tough road loss. This week brings the 2-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.
