Why Auburn being a heavy favorite this week may not be a good thing

Auburn is currently listed as a 22-point favorite over Ole Miss on Saturday, but that may not be a good thing for the Tiger faithful, according to Chris Fallica, a personality on ESPN’s College GameDay.
One recent example of that kind of spread came last year against Vanderbilt, when the Tigers won 23-16. Another came against Texas A&M last year when the Aggies won 29-16.
Auburn is 4-1 and 2-0 in the SEC, and looking to keep pace with Alabama and Texas A&M as undefeated teams in conference play in the SEC West, while Ole Miss is 2-2 and 0-1 in the SEC.
Last 2 games Auburn was a 20-pt fav in SEC play, Tigers hung on to beat Vandy by 7 and lost at home to Texas A&M
