Furman @ Auburn:
Ole Miss was just the tonic for this Auburn team coming off a tough three game stretch. The Tigers silenced all the critics and got their season back on track, but more importantly, they gave themselves some momentum heading into Amen Corner. Furman comes into town this week, and as much as everybody likes to knock the playing of these FCS teams, this game comes at a good time for Auburn. After nine straight games and five straight games against SEC opponents, this game should allow Auburn a little mental break and hopefully a physical one for a lot of players if we can build up an early lead. Let's face it, this should be nothing more than a glorified scrimmage, a chance to keep the rhythm going heading into Athens next week. Given the mental and physical fatigue that is bound to have collected over the last three months of games and two-a-days, I expect this not to be the most crisp performance, and Furman might actually move the ball a little bit and score some points, but this won't be a problem. The score may not look as pretty as we want it to at the end of the game after emptying our bench, but it will help us keep our legs fresher for Georgia next week. Besides sustaining no injuries, I expect the biggest concern here to be sharpening up the passing game a bit more and getting Demond Washington plenty of work at Strong Safety after taking over for Zac Etheridge's following his scary injury. I'll say Auburn 52, Furman 20.

Furman @ Auburn:
The Tigers are excited again after a big against Ole Miss and they get a tune up game against Furman before heading around amen corner with games against rivals Georgia and Alabama. Furman isn’t a bad team per se, but they don’t have the athletes to match up against Auburn’s weapons on offense. Expect the Tigers to run the ball a lot and play a bunch of people on offense. The defense will largely remain the same as Auburn is still incredibly thin there, but should have the time to rest a few starters. Auburn 34, Furman 13.

Furman @ Auburn:
Auburn is coming off a huge win against Ole Miss in which it looked like it was able to get the offense somewhat back on track. The goal this week will be to fine tune things for Georgia and get up to a big lead quickly so that the starters can be pulled out and rest up for the big game next week at Athens. I expect Auburn to take care of business early and take a commanding lead into halftime allowing the plan to rest players occur. The defense has showed some signs of life recently and I believe that it will continue this week, at least with the starters. I don't look for this game to be very close. I like Auburn 49, Furman 17.
