Auburn (4-1) is a small favorite against the Bulldogs (3-2), who have lost back-to-back games against SEC opponents (Kentucky and Florida).
You’ve heard plenty this week about the 2008 game between the two teams in which Auburn won, 3-2, in what is widely viewed as one of the ugliest games in recent memory. While no one is expecting a spectacle as atrocious as that, the consensus is that it will be a low-scoring game.
After all, both defenses are ranked nationally inside the top 20 in total defense: Mississippi is 11th, allowing 286.8 yards per game, and Auburn is 16th, allowing 304.
