Auburn finally jettisoned Bryan Harsin after the Tigers had lost five of their last six games. They were not competitive in all but one of those losses. You never know what you are going to get when a coach gets fired, but Auburn looks like a program in disarray. The Bulldogs are struggling a little right now as well, but they are 4-0 at home this season winning by an average of 24 points per game. MSU gets things turned around here.

Curiously, Auburn did not fire coach Bryan Harsin during the bye week, instead waiting until it played a game following the break. The coaching staff has its work cut out preparing for Mississippi State, which has churned out more than 40 points in all four home dates. The Bulldogs are unbeaten there, straight-up and against-the-spread, while Auburn failed to cover in its two roadies. Tough task for the Tigers.
