Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers prediction
The Auburn Tigers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re undefeated. I get it. However, Alabama is far from a pushover, and you’re not going to get this team as underdogs often down the stretch. Alabama has the offense to give auburn trouble, and just beat the Tigers a couple of weeks ago. Alabama has won 5 of the last 7 meetings against Auburn overall. This is a rivalry game and points usually are key where these games are typically competitive and come down to the wire. I want the points in my pocket. Give me Bama.
