Ole Miss vs. Auburn Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. The Tigers are the better team in my opinion here and are still one of the most complete teams in the country. There are a lot of spots where Ole Miss has gone through offensive droughts that have done this team in when it comes to taking losses, and I just don’t see that working when Auburn is on the other side. I think that Auburn takes care of business at home in this one, so I’ll lay the points with Auburn here.
