Despite a three-game losing streak, all in SEC play, Auburn opened as a slight favorite, -1.5, against No. 16 Missouri for the matchup between the Tigers in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday, per FanDuel.com
Hugh Freeze's squad is coming off yet another frustrating and controversial loss, a 20-10 defeat to No. 10 Georgia in which the Tigers took a 10-0 lead and seemed to go up 17 points right before halftime on a Jackson Arnold quarterback sneak. Despite replays showing the ball had crossed the goal line still in the Auburn quarterback's possession, SEC officials ruled that he had fumbled, giving the ball to Georgia.
