*10* Mississippi State Bulldogs - Auburn not only got manhandled by LSU last week, let's not forget the Tigers were fortunate to get by Jacksonville State the prior week! Additionally, in week 1 of this season, Auburn was outgained by nearly a full football field in their fortunate win over Louisville. This Tigers team has simply not even come close to impressing in any of their games this season. This has many calling for "the turnaround" to be this week but I just don't see it. The Bulldogs are the much better team, playing much better football, and the confidence of Auburn has absolutely been shaken. The Tigers are being outgained by a huge margin on the year and the Bulldogs, conversely, are outgaining their opponents by an average of over 150 yards per game this season. Mississippi State did defeat Auburn by double digits last season but they're still looking to avenge a tough 24-20 loss in their last visit to Auburn (two years ago). The Bulldogs aerial attack has been impressive this season and that includes a big performance against LSU as well. Mississippi State is 8-3 ATS as an underdog the last 3 seasons combined. While many might be looking for Auburn to bounce back off of their loss to LSU, the Tigers have gone 1-4 ATS the past two seasons when off of a conference loss. Look for them to again struggle against a conference foe in this one as that ATS trend adds another loss for Auburn.
