The Auburn Tigers (5-6, 2-5 SEC) visit Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl against the 7th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (9-2, 5-2) Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at the Auburn vs. Alabama odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.
Auburn, fresh off a 41-17 win against Western Kentucky, needs a win to become bowl eligible. It’s been a tumultuous season for the Tigers, one which started with boosters wanting coach Bryan Harsin fired. He was eventually let go halfway through the season and replaced by interim coach Cadillac Williams, who played for Auburn 2001-04.
Alabama also has had a down season based on its standards and preseason expectations. The Tide, the preseason favorite for the national championship, have lost 2 games and were almost beaten in 2 others. QB Bryce Young, last season’s Heisman Trophy winner, has willed this team to a 9-2 record and DE Will Anderson is still a beast. But the surrounding talent has been lacking for a normally loaded Alabama team and coach Nick Saban. With Young likely to declare for the NFL Draft after the season, this will be the last time home fans will have a chance to cheer him on as he leads the Tide to an Iron Bowl victory.
