The Alabama Crimson Tide are easily the better team here and should be decent sized favorites. However, Alabama doesn’t have a ton of road experience this season, and they didn’t look particularly great last week. The Auburn Tigers are free-falling over the last week, but they still have a physical defense that prevents touchdowns, and they have a balanced offense that’s slightly above average across the board. Also, the home team has won eight of the last nine Iron Bowls. Alabama wins, but I want the points.
