This contest should include a bevy of points. Auburn has the #1 offense according to Kenpom.com and Ole Miss has the #26 offense according to that same source. The Tigers are putting up 85.2 points per game and the Rebels are averaging 77.6 points per game this season. If you add those two numbers together, you get 162.8, which is easily over the projected total for this game of 154.5. Both teams are working on streaks of 5 straight overs, and I like both clubs to extend their streaks on Friday. I’m taking the over on the total of 154.5 points at Bovada.lv.
