Music City Bowl Pick, Prediction

Action Network college football betting expert Collin Wilson offers this prediction:

How different would the point spread be for Auburn without its loss to New Mexico State? What if it didn't allow Jalen Milroe to convert a fourth-and-goal from 31 yards out in the Iron Bowl?

There's a discount on the Tigers' side, as Hugh Freeze looks to extend his sizable bowl record of 7-1 against the spread.

Quarterback Payton Thorne and running back Jarquez Hunter ran both inside and outside zone with plenty of success this season. That's bad news for a Maryland defense that was one of the worst in the nation in terms of Success Rate and explosives allowed against inside zone.

Pick: Auburn -2.5

Music City Bowl History

Music City Bowl Logo

The Music City Bowl debuted in 1998, and the matchup currently features schools from the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The game takes place at Nissan Stadium from Nashville, Tennessee. This game was previously sponsored by Gaylord Hotels, HomePoint.com, and Franklin American Mortgage Company before TransPerfect. 

Underdogs have won three of the last four matchups, as the 2019 installment watched Louisville capture a 38-28 victory over Mississippi State as a short underdog. The 'over' cashed with a late push, and is on a 3-0 run in this bowl matchup.

Kentucky has made the most appearances in this bowl with six, followed by Minnesota with three visits to Nashville since 2002. 

In 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic wiped out the game. The bowl returned on Dec. 30, 2021, and it was worth the two-year wait. Tennessee and Purdue played at Nissan Stadium in front of a sold out crowd. Purdue outlasted Tennessee 48-45 in overtime in a wild game with many twists and turns.

The Big 10 marked their third straight win in the Music City Bowl as Maryland cruised past Auburn, 31-13 in 2023 as short underdogs.
