2025 Auburn Tigers Week 1 Betting Lines
In the 2024 season, the Auburn Tigers fell back in head coach Hugh Freeze’s second season. That was not what the Auburn faithful expected after a rough first season. Auburn finished 5-7 and failed to qualify for a bowl for the second time in three seasons. In 2023, Auburn finished with a disappointing loss in the Music City Bowl to end Freeze’s first season at 6-7. Last year marked the fifth consecutive season that Auburn failed to reach the 7-win plateau. But there is optimism on the plains that better days are ahead. That is because head coach Hugh Freeze still has enough credibility on the resume to generate hope to help build Auburn back to its past levels of success under Gus Malzahn before he ran out of steam. Also, factoring is the retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban. Since that epic announcement, the rest of the SEC believes that anything is possible. Thus, Auburn hopes to make a serious run and improve in coach Hugh Freeze’s third season.

Auburn Tigers Weekly Matchup
On Friday, August 29, 2025, the Baylor Bears will host the Auburn Tigers at McLane Stadium in Waco, TX. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. ET, with television coverage on FOX.
Baylor is a popular pick to win the conference. They return one of the most talented quarterbacks in the conference, Sawyer Robertson. Between Robertson, running back Bryson Washington, wide receiver Josh Cameron, and tight end Michael Trigg, Baylor will have one of the most exciting offenses in the nation, let alone the conference. Baylor won their final six games of the regular season in 2024 and will have positive momentum entering this season.
Dave Aranda is one of the more experienced coaches in the conference at this point, and his offensive coordinator, Jake Spatival, is a rising star in the sport. Aranda is one of the best defensive coaches in the country, and he will try to take a group returning a lot of talent to the upper tier in the conference. If this team had started Sawyer Robertson or not given up a crazy Hail Mary to lose against Colorado, they would have made the Big 12 title game last season. They are the best bet to break through this season and win the conference.
Auburn Tigers Weekly Preview and Recap
Auburn is another team in desperate need of a leap forward. After a 6-6 2023 season in Hugh Freeze’s first year, they took a step back and went 5-7 in 2024. Auburn is recruiting at a high level, but not seeing results on the field yet. They brought in Jackson Arnold from Oklahoma to be their new quarterback and are hoping he finds more success than he had in Norman.
They have a tough schedule, which starts with a tough out-of-conference road game against Baylor, and they get Georgia, Alabama, and Texas A&M from the top of the SEC. If they can win eight games, it would be a huge success for Freeze. That will largely depend on whether or not things click with Arnold, and if they don’t, Freeze’s seat will get hot in a hurry.
Auburn’s 5-7 finish in 2024 dropped Hugh Freeze to 11-14 in his two seasons at the helm, marking the program’s first stretch of four straight losing seasons since 1947-50. Yet optimism remains high entering 2025. The Tigers crushed the transfer portal and secured back-to-back top-10 recruiting classes. If everything clicks, Auburn isn’t just poised for its first winning season since 2020 — it could be a legitimate dark horse in the College Football Playoff race.
If you actually watched Auburn, the breakdowns were so common that it was difficult to see the losses as mere poor fortune. Maybe no team in the country, therefore, combines raw upside with the extreme burden of proof like Auburn.

Auburn has long been known for its meddlesome boosters. And in spring 2022, those big money donors had a bellyful of Harsin. While Harsin was out of the country on vacation, the Auburn boosters circulated stories on social media that he was having an affair with a young female staffer. They even circulated pictures of the woman. It was all fabricated. But Harsin did not make it to the end of 2022.
Now Hugh Freeze, who was fired at Ole Miss for contacting hookers on his burner phone while thumping his Bible on Twitter, is in his second season. To his credit, Freeze is a highly regarded football mind and a strong recruiter.
Despite a strong and proud football history, the Auburn Tigers have always played in the shadow of the Alabama Crimson Tide in the state.
Auburn has claimed two national championships and four unclaimed national championships. The Tigers have won the SEC championship 16 times. They have boasted three Heisman Trophy winners and 31 consensus All-Americans.
Head coaches Ralph Jordan and Pat Dye are Auburn legends. Jordan won a national championship, as did Gene Chizik. Tommy Tuberville and Gus Malzahn are other Auburn coaches who found success on the Plains.
Cam Newton, Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson, and Terry Beasley are among the legendary Auburn players who have worn the blue and orange.
