Ole Miss enters this game with a better record, however, they have struggled in the series against Auburn having only won two of the last ten games in the series and Auburn has dominated the series at covering the spread going 7-2-1 ATS in the last ten and 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings. I look for them to make it four in a row at covering the spread on Saturday evening when they host the Ole Miss Rebels. Buy the .5 point and take the Auburn Tigers +7 in week 8 of the college football season.
