Auburn vs Ole Miss Prediction
The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss is off to a very hot start as they are undefeated and they are looking to replicate the same magic they had last season, but this time they want to go even further. Lane Kiffin has been building a great program there and they are only going to get better as the season goes on. Auburn has not been good this year but they have struggled even more in their road games this season. Auburn also doesn't have the offense to keep up with this potent Ole Miss offense that can score a lot of points. Ole Miss didn't have a great defense last year but even that has improved this season and it will be hard for Auburn to even move the ball in this game, they are not going to put up a lot of points here. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.
Auburn Ole Miss Prediction: Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 15, 2022 (12:00 pm ET start time) is Ole Miss 42 Auburn 13.
