Auburn Tigers wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (5) celebrates his touchdown catch as Auburn Tigers takes on Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024.
Auburn football is a heavy favorite to beat California on Saturday. Can they get it done?
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic has revealed his “picks against the spread” ahead of this weekend’s action and has included Auburn’s tilt with Cal in the mix. The Tigers currently stand as 13.5-point favorites in the game according to BetMGM, and Feldman believes that Auburn will cover the spread and then some by predicting them to prevail over Cal, 31-13.
Feldman breaks down his reasoning for giving Auburn the nod.
Jaydn Ott is one of the best backs in the country, but he got banged up last week in Cal’s win and limped off the field. The Bears need a fully functional Ott for this long trip into SEC country. Payton Thorne has a ton of experience and some big-time talent to lean on led by freshman receiver Cam Coleman, who has a chance to be special.
Auburn is already off to a hot start this season against the spread. Last week, the Tigers blew past the -48.5 line for their game with Alabama A&M by crushing the Bulldogs, 73-3. Feldman cites that he made a great choice last week by choosing UNLV to upset Houston while experiencing a whiff by choosing LSU to cover its loss to USC. Will Feldman’s prediction come true? Find out on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT as Auburn faces Cal on ESPN 2.
