Ole Miss football vs. Auburn: Our final score predictions are in.
Ole Miss football will host the Auburn Tigers in a conference matchup on Saturday.
The undefeated Rebels will look to earn consecutive conference wins after dominating Vanderbilt 52-28 last week. Quarterback Jaxson Dart completed a season-high 25 passes for 448 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He will likely continue to utilize star wide receiver Johnathan Mingo, who made nine catches for 247 yards and two scores.
Auburn, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back after suffering losses to LSU and Georgia. The Tigers recorded a 17-14 win over Missouri in overtime, but have struggled since backup quarterback Robby Ashford took over for TJ Finley after he suffered a shoulder injury.
Will the Rebels stay undefeated against Auburn? Here's what our experts had to say.

Nick Suss, Ole Miss beat reporter
Ole Miss 34, Auburn 14: This might not be a game where the Rebels hang 50 points, but this one also shouldn't be too stressful for Ole Miss fans. The Rebels build a good lead early and coast to their first 7-0 start since 2014.
Jacob Shames, Auburn beat reporter
Ole Miss 35, Auburn 13: The Rebels are maybe the hottest team in the SEC. The Tigers might be the coldest. Ole Miss is a brutal matchup for Auburn on both sides of the ball.
Blake Toppmeyer, SEC columnist
Ole Miss 34, Auburn 14: Turn out the lights. The party is over for Bryan Harsin. Cole Cubelic said it best recently when the SEC Network analyst and Auburn alumnus tweeted that AU’s best offensive play right now is the quarterback scramble. An acerbic but fair take of how this offense is functioning. If Jaxson Dart plays like he did for stretches of last week’s game against Vanderbilt, when Dart threw for 448 yards, Ole Miss is going to be a tough out in the SEC West.
John Adams, senior sports columnist
Ole Miss 34, Auburn 17: Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss offense is fun to watch. Bryan Harsin’s Auburn offense is fun to watch if you bet on the opposing team.
Auburn running back Tank Bigsby should be second-guessing himself for not transferring. And Auburn boosters should be second-guessing themselves for firing Gus Malzahn.
If you just thought, “Boosters don’t fire coaches,” you know nothing about Auburn football.
