Ole Miss vs. Auburn Picks
The Ole Miss Rebels have been one of the top passing teams in college football. They are currently 16th with 306.0 passing yards per game.
Junior quarterback Jaxson Dart has been doing extremely well as he is 107-of-167 (64.1 completion percentage) for 1,638 yards with 12 touchdowns compared to two interceptions. Coming off a game where he had just 153 passing yards, and with the extended break, he should be able to hit the over here.
The Auburn Tigers have been struggling in the passing game but are strong running the football as they are 27th in NCAA with 191.5 rushing yards per game.
Junior quarterback Payton Thorne is the program's leading rusher, as he has 50 rushing attempts for 225 yards (4.5 yards per carry) with a pair of touchdowns. He has run for 27 yards over the last two games, so expect the under on his rushing yards.
