Pick
Auburn was playing some solid football before last week, but they looked terrible in their 21-point loss to New Mexico State. Alabama is one of the best teams in the country and they are already locked into the SEC Title game, but they should be focused for this rivalry game. It is tough to know which Auburn team is going to show up, but I assume last week’s performance was due to looking ahead to this game. I am sure the Tigers will play better this week, but Alabama is rolling right now. Take the Crimson Tide to win by a few scores.
