ATLANTA – Bovada set the total at 59 points for Saturday’s Aflac Kickoff between Auburn and Baylor, one of the higher lines of college football’s opening week, with Auburn favored by 7 points in the neutral-site game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Total And The Split Between Books
Bovada’s 59-point total for the Aflac Kickoff carries -110 juice on both the Over and the Under. BetOnline has the same game half a point lower at 58.5, priced -117 on the Over and -103 on the Under, one of the wider book-to-book splits on the opening legal sports betting board of the college football season.
The gap gives bettors a real choice: BetOnline’s number needs half a point less for an Under ticket to cash, while Bovada’s extra half-point works the same way for the Over. The books have exactly one recent data point on this pairing – last season’s opener in Waco, a 38-24 Auburn win that produced 62 combined points, a game that would have cleared either of this week’s numbers.
Auburn Favored By A Touchdown, Priced Both Ways
Bovada has Auburn -7 at -120, with Baylor +7 at even money; BetOnline sets its line at Auburn -7.5 (-105) and Baylor +7.5 (-115). Bovada’s most recent move came in the price, not the number. The line held at 7 while Auburn’s side went from -115 to -120 and Baylor’s eased from -105 to +100, the book charging more to lay the touchdown rather than stretching it.
Paired with a total in the high 50s, a full-touchdown spread reads as a board expecting Auburn to control the game rather than run away with it, closer to a possession-trading afternoon than a running-clock rout. On the moneyline, Auburn is -285 at Bovada and Baylor +235, with BetOnline pricing it a shade wider at -295 and +241.

A Rare Neutral-Site Trip For Both Programs
Auburn is the designated home team, giving up a 2026 home date to play in the Aflac Kickoff, the nation’s longest-running neutral-site game, and it’s Baylor’s first appearance in the event and first trip to Atlanta since 1993. It’s also the opening test of the season for legal college football betting markets.
Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. Eastern Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, nationally televised on ABC, with both programs still at 0-0. It’s Auburn’s fourth Kickoff Game appearance and the SEC’s 22nd in the event’s history, and it puts one of the week’s highest totals in front of the Atlanta sports betting market to open the season.
