The Auburn Tigers will take on the Maryland Terrapins in the Music City Bowl in Nashville on Saturday afternoon and, according to an NCAA Game Simulator, the Tigers should come out on top.
In 641 computer simulations, the Tigers defeated the Terps 374 times, or in 58.3% of the matchups. In 104 of those simulations, Auburn won the game by 20 or more points, while in Maryland’s 267 wins, just 37 were by 20 or more.

Tagovailoa will be replaced by redshirt sophomore Billy Edwards, who only attempted 10 passes this season.
