Tide vs. Tigers

Despite having clinched a spot in the SEC Championship, No. 2 Alabama still has plenty of motivation when facing rival Auburn Friday at 2:30PM ET from Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL have made Alabama 10.5-point road favorites over Auburn on Friday afternoon. The over/under total for this game has been established at 47.

Alabama and Auburn are pretty comparable on offense as each posts just over 32 points per-game and both have a balanced offensive attack. The difference comes in defense where the Tide are giving up just 9.9 points and 225.2 yards per-game. Auburn ranks last in the SEC in scoring defense, giving up 27 points per-game.

This game should be competitive, so this pick is a tough one. The key in the game will be if Auburn can find ways to manufacture points and keep things close. Chris Todd has thrown for 2,196 yards and 19 touchdowns for Auburn while Ben Tate has rushed for 1,209 yards and eight touchdowns. These two have to make plays on offense to keep the Tigers in the game. Look for Alabama’s Mark Ingram to find his way to the end zone a couple times while Auburn is able to keep pace for most of the game. We suggest a pick of Auburn with the points as the Tide may be looking ahead to Florida next week.
