The Missouri Tigers (2-1, 0-0 SEC) will kick off their SEC schedule against the Auburn Tigers (2-1, 0-0) Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. Kickoff is set for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Missouri vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Missouri has had an up-and-down season thus far against non-conference opponents. Mizzou handily defeated Louisiana Tech 52-24 in Week 1 and Abilene Christian 34-17 last week, but had a rough outing against former Big 12 rival Kansas State. Missouri lost 40-12 to the Wildcats, with Tigers QB Brady Cook throwing for just 128 yards, 0 TD and 2 INT.
Things have looked similar for Auburn who beat Mercer and San Jose State in the first 2 weeks but was dominated by then 23rd-ranked Penn State 41-12 last week. Auburn QB T.J. Finley threw for 152 yards and 1 INT before being replaced by backup Robby Ashford, who finished the day with 144 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT.
