The Auburn Tigers get a much-needed cupcake on Saturday, which will be a welcomed rest from legitimate competition. The SEC isn’t exactly known for scheduling strong non-conference opponents and it takes a lot of criticism for it, but this late-season contest will be a breath of fresh air for the 6-4 Tigers—especially with Alabama around the corner next week.

The question here isn’t whether or not Auburn gets the win—which it should—but whether or not it can cover a big 28-point spread.
Liberty Flames
The Liberty Flames have been able to move the ball this season without much problem. They are 22nd in the nation in yards per game, totaling an average of 464 per contest.
When breaking it down to ground vs. air, Liberty has a distinct advantage in the latter. When passing the football, the Flamers are collecting 304.4 points per contest, which is good enough for 17th in the country. On the ground, this group is 78th, posting 159.2 yards per game.
All of this has resulted in Liberty scoring 35.4 points per outing. That number is good enough for 28th in FBS.

The Auburn Tigers aren’t scoring juggernauts, but they have a real chance at putting up big-time points against Liberty’s struggling defense. The only way Liberty has a shot at keeping this one close is if they can establish a surprising ground game early to open up their potent passing attack.
