The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked really good in their games this season with their 18-3 record overall and their 5-3 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC right now. They will be looking to climb the standings in the SEC and they have looked a lot better on their home court all year with their 13-0 home record. Meanwhile, Auburn has looked good in their games this season with their 17-4 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They are also right near the top of the SEC with their 6-2 conference record, but they have struggled a lot more in their road games this season with their 2-3 road record. Auburn also crushed Ole Miss back at home a few weeks ago but Ole Miss has been a completely different team on their home court this season while Auburn has also shown they can be very different on the road. Ole Miss will be seeking revenge for that loss in Auburn a few weeks ago, especially since it was a very embarrassing loss by double digits, so expect them to bring their best effort on their home court where they haven't been beaten yet this season. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

"Well if there's something you could do to win every close game, we would all do it. There's no secret, but what you can do is play the game on your terms. You can have an objective, and you can go try to execute the objective. We tell the guys all the time - it sounds really simple but it is - let's do what we say we're going to do." - Chris Beard on his team coming into this game against Auburn.
