Auburn’s Reload Not To Be Mistaken
This is the definition of a trap line on college football sportsbooks with Baylor listed as a home team underdog. Auburn has a significantly better roster than they did a season ago, and they are sure to come out swinging against a Baylor team that struggled on defense last season.
Not only did Baylor struggle on defense last season, sitting in the bottom half of the Big 12 in points allowed (26.7) and total yards allowed (386.2), but they did not make any notable changes to their secondary to warrant a significant jump. Especially against an Auburn team that is poised for a turnaround.
On the Auburn side, they put up a respectable 27.8 ppg last season and added some elite talent to even further it. That includes the seventh ranked transfer portal class, which is made up of Jackson Arnold (QB), Durrell Robinson (RB), Xavier Chaplin (OT), Eric Singleton (WR), and Mason Murphy (OT), to name a few. In total, they added five, four-star transfers to their roster.
Strengthening Auburn’s case even more, they held a +3.6 cover margin against the spread last season when playing on the road.
