These teams both struggled last season when it came to passing yards. Auburn were ranked 119th in the nation, having averaged an unimpressive 172.7 per game. UMass, meanwhile, were ranked 126th with 116.9 per game.
Looking forward to Saturday, Auburn shouldn't be too worried about this matchup, as the experts have them favored by 35 points. They finished last season with a 5-7 record against the spread.
Auburn ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 5-0 when favored last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 12 games they played last year would have netted $402.26. On the other hand, UMass was 0-11 as the underdog last season.
