Before you make any Houston vs. Auburn picks, see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also entered the third week of the 2021-22 college football bowl season on a 43-30 run on all top-rated college football side picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows Houston has a dynamic one-two punch through the air. Clayton Tune has amassed 3,263 passing yards with 28 touchdowns. His top target is sophomore wideout Nathaniel "Tank" Dell. He's caught 80 passes for 1,179 yards. Dell is tied for fifth in the country with 12 receiving touchdowns.

The model also knows Auburn will need to depend on Tank Bigsby. The Tigers' leading rusher tallied 1,003 yards and 10 scores on the ground during the regular season. Three of Houston's six wins came in games where he crossed the century mark.

Now the model has simulated Houston vs. Auburn and the Birmingham Bowl 10,000 times, and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Over the total, and it says one side of the spread hits in over 60 percent of simulations. You absolutely need to see it before locking in your own picks.
