Auburn
Auburn has covered the spread in four straight home games, but 1-7 ATS in their last eight following a win.
Tulane
The Green Wave are 6-15-1 against the spread in their last 22 games on grass, but 11-5 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games.
Prediction:
Auburn got the big win of the weekend last week, but I don’t think it will lead to a letdown tonight. If anything, the Tigers should feel like they are a legit title contender with that big non-conference win. Now Auburn returns home for its home opener against a Tulane team that is probably feeling good about itself after dominating FIU. The Green Wave are in for a rude awakening tonight against that Auburn speed and look for Bo Nix to improve a great deal with each game.
