This game is about as exciting as Alabama playing Tennessee or The Citadel; they have no chance to keep this game close. The Tigers don’t have enough offense to keep pace with Tua Tagovailoa and the Tide offense.
The Citadel gave the Tide a scare at halftime, so Nick Saban will have his team focused and ready to handle the Tigers with ease. I don’t think this game is even close. However, if it gets out of hand, Saban will have his team rest for the SEC Championship Game.
Alabama: 48 Auburn: 14 (Alabama -24.5; Over 52.5)

One of Tennessee football’s biggest wins this year is over the Auburn Tigers. But the very next week, the Alabama Crimson Tide nearly hung 60 on Tennessee football. So this Iron Bowl rivalry has hardly any excitement compared to years past. The only question is whether or not the Tide can cover that huge spread.
And I say, yes they can. Alabama is going to win this game easily. Nick Saban got his team refocused after that halftime scare against The Citadel last week, and it’s going to show. The Tide win in a huge blowout, and this game hits the over in the process because of their offense. Watch out for how this one turns out.

The Iron Bowl, one of the greatest, storied rivalries in all of College Football. Usually this game is must watch television. However, for this year, you may want to watch a more meaningful game than this one. No one (including myself) is going to give the Tigers a chance to win this game.
I get it, Alabama had a bad first half against a team called The Citadel. However, I have learned my lesson about betting against Alabama in any football game as long as they have Nick Saban as their Head Coach. This game will be a blowout. Alabama’s offense will be able to move the ball at ease and the Crimson Tide’s defense will shut the Auburn offense down all game long. This will be a huge win for the Crimson Tide as they will get ready to face the Bulldogs in another “epic” showdown in Atlanta next week.
