• ESPN simulations have Ole Miss as XX% favorites to win the game.

• XX% of sports bets are currently on Auburn to win as (TBD) underdogs.

• The line for this game is Auburn by 5 points.

• Auburn looks to avoid a letdown after an eye-opening home victory as it takes to the road to meet struggling Ole Miss on Saturday in another key SEC matchup. The 17th-ranked Tigers were flawless on both sides of the ball in a 56-3 rout of Arkansas last week for their fourth straight victory, holding an opponent under 20 points for the sixth time in seven contests, but won’t be overconfident.

• Sophomore running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) could return to the lineup to add another major threat to a rushing attack that ranks third in the nation at 302.9 yards per contest. Sophomore Kamryn Pettway has recorded 361 of his 697 rushing yards and five of his six touchdowns on the ground the past two games for the Tigers. Sophomore quarterback Sean White has been very efficient, completing 68.5 percent of his passes with seven TD strikes and two interceptions while senior Tony Stevens has a team-high 24 receptions.

• Kelly threw for 381 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 27-19 victory over Auburn last year and is completing 62.2 percent of his passes this season with 15 TDs and seven interceptions. Kelly has plenty of weapons but his main target is senior Evan Engram, who leads all tight ends in the nation in receiving yards with 605 on 40 receptions with five scores. Senior Akeem Judd leads the ground attack with 382 yards and four TDs, although he has reached 100 in a game just once this season and Kelly is second on the team in rushing (269).

• The Tigers won five of the last seven meetings to push their lead in the series to 29-11 and are 10-3 in 13 meetings at Ole Miss.

• Auburn LB Tre’ Williams leads the team with 43 tackles while DL Carl Lawson tops the Tigers with 6.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss and 18 QB hurries.

• Kelly has passed for at least 200 yards and thrown a touchdown pass in all 20 games with the Rebels.
