The No. 16 Auburn Tigers are set to host the Texas A&M Aggies in their SEC home opener on Tuesday and will be doing so as 7.5-point favorites, according to BetMGN.
Auburn (12-2, 2-0 SEC) is coming into the game with plenty of momentum after beating Arkansas by 32 points on Saturday to pick up its seventh straight win.
The Aggies are still looking for their first conference win after losing to LSU over the weekend to open SEC play. They fell to 9-5 with the loss and are now 4-3 away from College Station.
Here is everything you need to know about the matchup before placing any bets.

Advice and Prediction
The Aggies have completely controlled this series, winning five of the last six games, including both last season. However, the Aggies have struggle to start the season and are 4-3 away from home.While it hasn’t been against the touchest competetion, Auburn is a perfect 7-0 at home, winning their games by an average of 22 points.
With Auburn flying high after their impressive win at Arkasnas and being inside Neville Arena, this feels like another Auburn win, and I expect them to cover the spread.
Best Bet: Auburn -7.5
