Alabama vs Auburn Prediction

I’m on Auburn in this one. I think you can’t go wrong having points in your pocket with this game because either way, you’d be getting points with one of the best teams in the country in arguably the biggest regular season game in SEC history. Auburn though, has the mettle to go into Tuscaloosa and hang and potentially win outright here. The Tigers play outstanding defense and with Johni Broome back, the Tigers have the size inside to be able to bang with Alabama on the glass and Auburn’s had no qualms about being able to put up the scoring output to keep themselves in a game like this. I think this is going to be a fantastic game, but in the end, having points with Auburn is where I want to be here.
