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.

Bet Alabama at Auburn
The Crimson Tide is 11-0 this season and 7-3 against the spread.

Alabama has covered the point spread odds in all road games this season.
Auburn has won six of the last seven meetings with

Alabama.

Auburn is 7-4 on the season and 5-5 against the spread. The Tigers won their first five games to jump into the top 25 rankings, but then lost three straight.

Auburn has since won two of its last three. The Tigers are 6-1 at home this season and have beaten

Alabama in the last three meetings at 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.
