Auburn vs. Ole Miss CBB Prediction:
Ole Miss is one of the best home teams in the country. The Rebels are 13-0 straight up and 8-5 ATS as the home team this season. The only other SEC team that is undefeated at home is Auburn. But here’s the rub: the Tigers are 2-3 straight up and 2-3 ATS on the road in 2024. What’s more, Auburn seems to be trending in the wrong direction as they are 1-2 straight up and 1-1-1 ATS in their last 3 games. Conversely, Ole Miss is 3-0 straight up and 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games. This line implies that Auburn is a better team than Ole Miss, but I’m not sure that that’s the case. I’m taking the Rebels at home in Oxford on Saturday night.
