Many claim that Jordan-Hare Stadium creates one of the biggest home-field advantage in college football. War Eagle gets the party started and then the crowd roars for four quarters. The videoboard at this venue is the largest in college football. Auburn has everything you could need to win a lot of games at home.

Hugh Freeze has not delivered a lot of great moments at home.

Under the former Ole Miss and Liberty head coach, Auburn is just 7-10 at home and 6-10-1 ATS against the spread (ATS) versus FBS competition. The Tigers are just 1-7 outright in their last eight power conference games at this outstanding venue.
