Barrett Bannister will be looked to on 3rd down having converted 7 of his 10 catches for first downs.
The defense is ranked 51st on PFF. They are led by LB Chad Bailey. He leads the team in tackles.
The strength of Missouri is in there secondary as there top 6 tacklers are all LBs or Dbs. They will need to get more pressure in this game as they only have 3 sacks in three games this season.
They are 1-2 against the spread this year including a cover over Louisiana Tech.

Auburn is ranked 75th on PFF for offense and are led by QB TJ Finley and Robby Ashford. Both of them played against Penn State with the latter having more success against them. They both have a negative TD to INT ratio with 1-4 and 1-2.
Robby Ashford brings a threat of the run more than TJ Finley which may be the spark that Auburn needs.
The Tigers are led by running back Tank Bigsby, he has 38 carries for 238 yards and 3 TDs. He has 5 runs this year of 15+ yards. Jarquez Hunter will come in when Tank needs a blow he has 21 carries for 91 so he has not been as effective but he does have 4 TDs. But QB Robby Ashford can help he has 15 carries for 176 yards.

They will look to use Johnson and Jackson to back the safties up with both having average target depth over 13 yards. TE John Samuel Shenker will be asked to lineup in the slot and on the line to create mismatches he has 6 catches for 66 yards and a TD.
Auburn is led by its defense they are ranked 22nd on PFF. There leading tacklers are Owen Pappoe and Cam Riley. But there leader is up front in Derick Hall he has 10 hurries and 2 sacks on the year.

4* Free Missouri Tigers vs. Auburn Tigers NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
I think this comes down to quarterback play for Auburn. If they can get a big play or two out of them while they limit the mistakes and turnovers Auburn will have a good chance of covering the number.
Auburns defense is the best unit on the field and as long as they are not given a short field like they were multiple times last week the should be able to limit Missouri on offense some.
Brady Cook will make a few plays and has played in many SEC games. He will be ready and but will come up against a tough and motivated Auburn defense.
