Auburn Tigers Game Notes
Tigers senior running back Jarquez Hunter had a good game in his team’s 31-13 loss to Georgia a few weeks ago. In that contest, the Philadelphia, MS native logged 13 carries for 91 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 1 pass for 16 yards in the defeat.
Auburn wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith also played well in his team’s loss to Georgia. In that game, the Penn State transfer caught 7 passes for 95 yards. Lambert-Smith leads Auburn with 510 receiving yards this season.
Missouri Tigers Game Notes
Tigers senior running back Marcus Carroll was instrumental to his team’s 45-3 win over UMass last weekend. In that game, the Georgia State transfer carried the ball 15 times for 91 yards and 3 touchdowns. Carroll is second on the team in rushing with 281 yards this season.
Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III also made a splash in his team’s blowout win over the Minutemen last weekend. In that contest, the junior from St. Louis caught 5 passes for 59 yards and logged 2 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. Burden is second on the team in receiving with 398 yards this year.

Auburn vs. Missouri Betting Prediction
Through 6 games, Auburn has yet to defeat a power conference team this season. They are 2-4 straight up with their only wins coming over New Mexico and Alabama A&M. Auburn is 81st in the nation with an average scoring margin of -3.0 points per game. They are 108th in yards per point margin and 117th in average turnover margin per game this season. Their 3 SEC losses have come by a total of 34 points, but the underlying numbers suggest that things could get much worse for Auburn this season.
Missouri is coming off of a win over UMass last weekend, which served as a get-right game for the Tigers. It was a nice rebound performance, as Mizzou got blown out by Texas A&M in College Station the week before that. Missouri ranks 37th in yards per point margin and 19th in average turnover margin per game this year. They are also 7-5 ATS as a favorite since the start of last season. Auburn seems to be trending down while Missouri seems to be trending up at the halfway point of this season. For that reason, among others, I’m taking Mizzou minus the points at home in Columbia on Saturday afternoon.
