Auburn is at 3-3 this season as it hits the road to take on Ole Miss. Riddled with injuries, the Tigers are coming off an ugly loss to rival Georgia. Here's how our staff have picked the game:


Callie Stanford, Sports Editor: Ole Miss 31-13

@Stanford1Callie

"I was in the student section last year when Auburn beat Ole Miss and I was probably one of my favorite games to experience as a fan. I think that same energy will be in favor of the Rebels this week. They have a home crowd and are facing a beat up Auburn team that hasn't shown much spark."

Noah Griffith, Assistant Sports Editor: Ole Miss 35-24 

@NoahGG01

"Vanderbilt got out to a 20-10 lead over Ole Miss last week, but then Ole Miss scored 28 straight points and played a dominant second half, outscoring Vandy 35-8 en route to a 24-point win. That's the opposite of Auburn's second-half struggles this year. I expect Auburn to lead at the end of the first half and Robby Ashford and the receivers to connect on some big plays in the first quarter, but Ole Miss's skill players are more than Auburn can handle. I foresee another second-half letdown for Auburn despite big days from Ja'Varrius Johnson and Jarquez Hunter."

Jacob Waters, Sports Reporter: Ole Miss 27-20

"Historically, Auburn has had its way against Ole Miss, winning 35 of the 46 matchups in the series and winning six straight, but I think that streak ends here. The Rebels have played down to their opponents a little this year including a slow start against Vanderbilt last week. With an early morning kickoff, I think Ole Miss comes out slow but pulls away late. Tank Bigsby will have a big day like he usually does against Ole Miss, but it won't be enough as Auburn falls to 3-4."

“To be honest, on paper this should be a no brainer. Auburns offense hasn’t showed any productivity this season, and they are going into a hostile environment against a top 10 team. However, I believe the players will rally around Harsin and the Rebels will sleep on an Auburn team at this early kick.”
