From the booth

The model favored AUB to win, and the call landed.

Auburn's sitting pretty as a 7.5-point favorite here, and the model likes the Tigers at 69 percent to get the W. The betting market and that Vegas line are both working in Auburn's corner, though I'll tell you what, Baylor's got a slight edge in overall team quality that keeps this from being a blowout prediction. It's a home-field advantage story on a Saturday in the Plains, and that's enough for the Tigers to be favored, but Scott Drew's squad isn't coming here to lay down.
