The Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers face off on Saturday in an SEC college football showdown at Jordan-Hare. When these two teams faced off last year it was Alabama that won 42-13.
The Alabama Crimson Tide come into this game with a 10-1 record overall and they have gone 6-5 against the spread. Alabama has been winning games but they haven’t been as dominant as years past. In the last game the defense struggled against Arkansas giving up 35 points and they only won the game by seven points. Alabama is averaging 44.36 points while their defense is giving up 19.7 points per game. Under center for Alabama is Bryce Young who has thrown for 3,584 yards, 38 touchdowns, and three interceptions. In this game, Alabama needs the defense to be strong.
On the other side of this matchup is the Auburn Tigers who sit with a 6-5 record overall and they have gone 5-6 against the spread. In the last game against South Carolina, Auburn’s offense could only manage 17 points and that led to a four point defeat at the hands of South Carolina. One big issue for Auburn is that Bo Nix is hurt and not available for the team. In the last game, TJ Finley completed 17 of his 32 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. Auburn is averaging 30,3 points while their defense is giving up 22 points per game. In this game if the offense wants any chance to come away with a victory the offense is going to need to be better.
Alabama is 13-6 against the spread in their last 19 games on grass. Auburn is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games in November. The over is 5-2-1 in Crimson Tide last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. The home team is 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings. The over is 5-2-1 in Crimson Tide last 8 vs. a team with a winning record.
Auburn’s offense is an issue, and they aren’t going to magically make it any better in this game. Look for Alabama to put up close to 50 points and Auburn is going to have no answer for it. Back Alabama against the spread.
