In this Auburn vs Alabama Prediction, Alabama is coming as -8.5 home favorites. Alabama has been the better team this season but both teams have an identical ATS record, with 13-17. Alabama has been red-hot lately with an 8-1 record in its last 9 games, while on the other hand, Auburn has been struggling with a 2-7 record in its last 9 games.
