Week Six SEC Predictions
This week, Auburn plays Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Other SEC games include Georgia at Tennessee and LSU at Mississippi State.

(Last week: 7-1, Overall: 43-7)

Ole Miss at Auburn

After a much needed weekend off, Auburn is set to host Ole Miss at 6 p.m. CT on ESPNU. While the Tigers were resting and trying to get several players healthy, UM lost to Alabama in Tuscaloosa 25-0. Both teams enter Saturday's contest 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the SEC. AU leads the series 27-10 and has won nine of the last 12 games against the Rebels.

UM's defense was stingy against the run in its first three games but gave up a whopping 254 yards and two touchdowns against Alabama. AU may give the Rebels a steady dose of its running game with the trio of Tre Mason, Cameron Artis-Payne and Corey Grant. Mason ranks eighth in the SEC in rushing at 84.50 yards per game. The Tigers average 232.3 yards per game on the ground and 439.5 total yards per game.

Like AU, the Rebels' offense features a fast-paced attack but was slowed down Saturday against the Tide. UM mustered just 46 rushing yards and Jeff Scott, who was averaging 110 yards a game, gained just 28 yards on eight attempts.

The Rebels average 28.5 points per game while AU's defense allows 22 points per game. Several key defensive players for AU missed the contest against LSU but could return to action this weekend. Cornerback Chris Davis and defensive end Craig Sanders hopefully will be able to play against UM after being sidelined with ankle injuries.

Prediction: Auburn 24-21.
