Auburn at Missouri odds, picks and predictions

The Auburn Tigers (2-4, 0-3 SEC) take on the Missouri Tigers (5-1, 1-1) on Saturday at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze the 24/7 college football odds from BetMGM Sportsbook Auburn vs. Missouri Opportunitiesand make our college football picks and predictions.

Auburn has dropped three straight after a 31-13 loss Oct. 5 at Georgia. This makes the Tigers a serious opponent for the fourth time in a row. Therefore, they are battle-hardened from the start. QB Payton Thorne was 16 of 27 for 200 yards, 0 TDs and 0 INTs against UGA. RB Jarquez Hunter ran hard for a 13-91-1 line against tough opponents.

Missouri, No. 16 in US LBM Coaches Survey, pummeled UMASS with a 45-3 win last week that no one really talks about locally. The Tigers haven’t looked like themselves all season, and Texas A&M embarrassed them 41-10, making this game extremely important to Mizzou’s playoff hopes. WR Luther burden III had a 61-yard touchdown run and caught 5 of 6 targets for 59 yards. He terrified the team when he hit hard on the left shoulder. His arm was dangling as he walked to the injury tent, but it is not on this week’s injury report.

Auburn at Missouri tips and predictions

forecast

Missouri 24, Auburn 17

Money line

I expect Mizzou to make a statement here. It got waxed by A&M and then beat a hapless UMASS team. It doesn’t get any respect, and frankly, it doesn’t deserve it. The season started with the highest expectations in program history and fell somewhat flat.

Skip the -190 and take LUTHER BURDEN TOUCHDOWN ANYTIME (-125). He is the most talented player on the field of all time. He has scored a TD in 5 of 6 games this season.

Most BetMGM users have been granted the CFB odds boost of 20%, rising to -105.

Against the spread

Mizzou has played three times this year, and they were all against bad teams. It outscored those bad teams 134-3. Auburn isn’t a bad team, but its 21-point coverage against UGA last time was the first coverage that wasn’t against a team it was supposed to beat.

Take MISSOURI -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

These teams have not faced each other since September 2022 and both teams are very different. Auburn won that game 17-14 in overtime. Mizzou is just 2-4 O/U this season and Auburn is 3-3. This sum is a bit high for me. Mizzou QB Brady Cook hasn’t reached anywhere near the form he showed last season and I want to focus on the running game.

LEAN BELOW 50.5 (-115).
