The college football games lines trends finally favor the Bulldogs in this a certain.

The trends say Mississippi Report but so far the bettors do not. 70% of the betting public believes that Auburn pass on cover the spread in this game. That could change by Thursday.
It could especially change after a intelligent review of the stats from each team’s game last week. Auburn was exceptional on the ground when pounding out 367 yards. 171 of those yards came from quarterback Cameron Newton. The Tigers amassed a total of 608 yards against Arkansas State.
That’s all well and good but playing against Arkansas State’s D at peaceful and against Mississippi State’s D on the road are two entirely different things. The Bulldogs beat Memphis 49 to 7 last Saturday and they looked great doing it. Mississippi State allowed Memphis to gain not 237 whole yards, 196 through the air and 41 on the ground.
Yes, Auburn is probably going to improve over 300 yards of total offense in this game, but that might not matter because Auburn’s defense is, shall we suggest, far removed from the days of when they literally won games with their D. Auburn’s D allowed Arkansas Stage, that’s right, Arkansas State, to throw since 323 yards.
That’s Arkansas Report. What is Mississippi State going to do to that horrible Auburn pass defense? They’re going to tear it to. The Bulldogs threw for 372 total yards last Saturday. They ran for another 197.
