No. 16 Missouri travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday to face off against the Auburn Tigers.
After Auburn took an early lead on Georgia at home last week and let it slip away, who in their right mind would back them this week against Mizzou? Well, Scott Van Pelt had a great answer to that question during Thursday night’s “Winners” segment on ESPN.
“Who hurt you, Scott?” SVP asked himself. “Auburn did. Auburn hurt me. But guess what? We’re all going to die, but I’m going to live while I’m here! And I will not live afraid! War Eagle again!”
SVP is taking the 1.5 points (via bet365) and riding with the Tigers this weekend in Jordan-Hare Stadium. SVP is 11-6-1 against the spread when picking Auburn, according to ESPN. He is currently 32-33 this season when picking his winners and is looking to bounce back after a 3-5 record in Week 7 of the CFB season.
Missouri is coming off a 3-point loss to the red-hot Crimson Tide. Quarterback Beau Pribula threw 2 interceptions last week, one of which essentially ended the game. He’ll have to take better care of the football if he wants a chance to take down Auburn at home.
Auburn is rolling in off a loss to Georgia and is currently on a 3-game losing streak. With rumors swirling that this game could determine Hugh Freeze’s future as the Auburn head coach, the Tigers are playing for much more than just a win on their record.
Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. ET.
