What started as a potentially Cinderella season for the Bulldogs has turned into a dark chapter that Mississippi State supporters just want to close the book on. The program has been overcome with injuries this season, which has dampened an otherwise promising step forward for head coach Jeff Lebby.
Auburn has been up and down this season, as they've proven they can beat the best teams in the country, but they've also shown they can struggle against subpar competition. Even though the Tigers won last week, it took everything they had to beat a downtrodden Arkansas squad.
If you are looking for some betting advice for the matchup, we've got you covered. Here are the latest odds for the game, courtesy of FanDuel.

Auburn vs. Mississippi State prediction, pick:
The Bulldogs' offense has understandably looked much less explosive without Kamario Taylor under center, but if there was ever a week to put forth an explosive performance, it's this one. The Tigers rank second to last in the SEC in rushing yards allowed, and second to last in passing yards allowed.
The interesting thing is, Mississippi State is the team that has allowed the most passing yards in the conference, although throwing the ball down the field on every play isn't exactly what Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown does best. The Bulldogs might be able to get away with having their deficiency completely exposed in this game.
Ultimately, if Alex Golesh is concerned with bringing Auburn back to respectability, this is a game he has to win against a team in freefall. It may not be a blowout, but the Tigers should find a way to get it done.
Prediction: Auburn 26, Mississippi State 20
Best Bet: Auburn -2.5
