The Auburn Tigers have the ability to win this game by whatever they want, but this could also be a bit of a trap game with St. Louis on deck. I question just how motivated Auburn will be here. The North Alabama Lions are also playing good ball in their own right, especially defensively, and this game is obviously much more important to their resume than it is Auburn. Lot of points here. I’ll take a stab with North Alabama.
