Georgia 

If Auburn does slip up and lose another game before now, that will magnify this Georgia game even more.

I still believe Gus Malzahn needs to get to eight wins in order to save that job, and he may need to beat Georgia.

Kirby Smart’s team is lucky to be 3-1 at this point in the season, and they do not look like a good football team.

They came from behind to beat a North Carolina team that hasn’t looked great this year. Then they hung on to beat Nicholls state in week two 26-24. Then it took a last second touchdown and five turnovers from Missouri to win that game.

They were finally humbled by Ole Miss in week four as they were blown out on the road 45-14.

This team will be really good next year and the years to follow, but this year’s team is not very good and we need to beat them.

So far they’re giving up 30 points per game, while only scoring 25.2 points per game. How is that even possible for a team that is 3-1?

If Auburn’s defense can slow down Nick Cubb and get some pressure on Jacob Eason, I think this will be a pretty easy win for Auburn.

The only scary thing is that this Georgia team will get better as the season goes on, and Auburn has to face them in November. If Auburn were to play them right now I think the Tigers win by two touchdowns.

However, it could be a different story come week 11.

Auburn and Gus need this game, and I think they get the win on the road.

Alabama A&M

I’m not going to go into too much detail here other than to say that this will be an easy win for Auburn the week before playing Alabama.

This will be the easiest game of the year, and our offense needs to score at least 50 points.

I would also love to see our defense pitch a shutout in this game to get everyone pumped up for the Iron Bowl.

This should be Auburn’s eighth win of the season and guarantee another year for Gus Malzahn at Auburn.
