Auburn Looking For Win Number Six
The Auburn Tigers won their second straight game last week, beating the Texas A&M Aggies in a four-overtime thriller at home. Auburn is 5-6 on the season after that victory, moving them to within one win of a miraculous winning streak to qualify for the upcoming bowl season. If Auburn wants to beat Alabama and get to that six-win mark, Auburn will need to prove it can put points on the board on the road. The Tigers are 1-2 in true road games this year, averaging just 18 points per game in those three contests, which likely wouldn’t be good enough to beat Bama.
Can Alabama Respond After Playoff Elimination?
Last week, the Alabama Crimson Tide put forth a shockingly bad performance against the Oklahoma Sooners, one that likely knocked them out of this year’s College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide are 8-3 overall this season and 4-3 in SEC play. They can get some degree of consolation after last week’s disappointing performance by beating Auburn in the Iron Bowl. But for that to happen, quarterback Jalen Milroe must be more precise with the football after throwing three interceptions against Oklahoma a week ago.
Auburn vs Alabama Betting Prediction
We will take the points with the Auburn Tigers in this weekend’s Iron Bowl. While the home team should win this Auburn vs Alabama matchup when all is said and done, the Tigers have shown a ton of fight late in the season. Against an Alabama team that has simply not played up to the standard they set for themselves during the Nick Saban era, Auburn should keep this game within single digits as they fight for their right to go bowling.
