ESPN predicts the winner of Saturday's game between Auburn and Ole Miss

The Auburn Tigers are set to face the Ole Miss Rebels in a crucial matchup on Saturday. According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, Auburn has a 25.1% chance of securing a victory at Ole Miss. The Tigers have not suffered a back-to-back loss this season, and they aim to avoid such a scenario against the Rebels in Oxford, Mississippi.

Ole Miss, coming off a narrow defeat to the Texas Longhorns last week, will be eager to avoid another loss to maintain their College Football Playoff aspirations. The Rebels' quarterback, Trinidad Chambliss, failed to find the end zone in their last game, which they lost 34-27. This will be the first encounter between Auburn and Ole Miss since the 2023 season, during which Ole Miss emerged victorious.

Historically, Auburn leads the all-time series 35-12, but Ole Miss has triumphed in the last two meetings. With four wins, Auburn should be able to achieve three more victories against Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Samford. The Auburn running backs, led by Byrum Brown, could hold the key to a potential upset victory against Ole Miss, who are at the bottom of the SEC in terms of run defense, conceding an average of 161.1 yards per game.
