Auburn vs. Ole Miss Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. I get the case to be made for Ole Miss as a home underdog, but unless I have a clear reason to not back Auburn with a reasonable number attached, I’m not going to fade this team. Auburn has shown credibility of a title contender, and now that they’ve got Johni Broome back, who is a player of the year calibre player and is a key piece of this offense, it makes Auburn even more dangerous. The Rebels have been frustrating to back at times, and I just think this is a spot where Auburn wins, not necessarily in a blowout, but enough to cover the number here so give me Auburn laying the points.
