New Mexico State's offense can keep them in any game. Chase Holbrook threw for 384 yards per game last season and so far this year he's improved on that in 2007, averaging nearly 400 per game on 74% accuracy. The offense as a whole is putting up 523 yards per game (6.7 per play) and 33 points per contest. Auburn has been a major dissapointment thus far. They are 1-2 at a point they were expected to be sitting pretty at 3-0. They beat Kansas State in their opener but failed to cover the spread. Then they lost back-to-back games as heavy favorites. South Florida beat them 23-26 as a 7 point dog and Mississippi State won 19-14 last week getting 12 from the Tigers. Auburn is averaging just 20 points per game, a result of returning just five starters from the 2006 squad. This is just too many points, especially considering that Auburn could be caught looking ahead to next week's big matchup vs. Florida. After last week's debacle vs. Mississippi State, Auburn's record in their last nine as a double-digit favorite? 0-9. Take this potent offense against an overrated Tigers team.
