Best Bets for Feb. 26: Ole Miss vs. Auburn
Ole Miss got off to a hot start this season at 15-2, including a win over then-No. 4 Alabama. But then things fell apart, with the Rebels losing six of their next 10 games, including their last two. Auburn, meanwhile, got back on track after its surprising loss to Florida a couple of weeks ago, winning four in a row.
However, the Tigers were 1-3 against the spread in those games because they were underdogs against Alabama and won. Auburn is 12-1 at home, while Ole Miss has gone 2-7 ATS in its last nine games and 1-3 on the road.
I’m not crazy about the spread, but Auburn excels at the things Ole Miss struggles with most. The Tigers will exploit those weaknesses en route to a runaway victory.
Our pick: Auburn -12.5 (-110)
