The predictions reflected limited confidence, however, as several panelists pointed to Auburn’s inconsistency, home struggles and poor play over the previous two weeks.
Justin Hokanson picked Auburn 28-17 but said the Tigers had not played consistently enough to inspire much certainty. He framed the matchup as a test of which team remained more committed to its first-year coach’s direction.
Bill Cameron chose Auburn 31-20, arguing that the Tigers had a chance to build momentum after a difficult October. Cameron cited Auburn’s talent advantage while acknowledging that Ryan Silverfield had fared well against Alex Golesh in their AAC meetings.
Jeffrey Lee criticized the Tigers’ recent performances but predicted a 37-24 Auburn victory. For Jay G. Tate, a hunch rather than concrete evidence supported his Auburn 31-13 selection.
Cole Pinkston picked Auburn 28-17 and expected a better defensive showing against an Arkansas offense he described as struggling. Matthews also expressed concern about Auburn’s home play and Silverfield’s past results against Golesh, but he gave the Tigers a narrow edge based on their performance this season.
Mr. Quarter supplied the panel’s only Arkansas selection, predicting a 55-0 Razorbacks win and 600+ yards against Auburn’s defense. Across the six Auburn picks, the projected winning margins ranged from two points to 18.
Why it matters
The panel viewed the Arkansas game as an opportunity for Auburn to regain momentum after two poor performances. The wide range of predicted margins also reflects uncertainty about the Tigers’ ability to play consistently at home.
What to watch next
Auburn’s Saturday home game against Arkansas will determine whether the Tigers can turn the panel’s cautious confidence into a needed win.
