Alabama at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 80, Auburn 76

Moneyline

PASS.

Although Alabama’s ranking and record precedes itself, the -135 moneyline odds do not present as much return as a play on the spread.

Against the spread

LEAN ALABAMA -2.5 (-110).

The Crimson Tide are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

While Auburn is 11-1 at home this season, Alabama’s offense ranks 7th in the nation averaging 83.7 points per game and its defense ranks 3rd in opponent field goal percentage (37.197%) and 2nd in opponent 3-point percentage (26.1%). The Crimson Tide will be a handful on both ends of the court for the Tigers, so LEAN ALABAMA -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 152.5 (-115).

The Over is 4-0 in Alabama’s last 4 games against a team with a winning outright record. For Auburn, the Over is 5-1 in its last 6 outings and 4-1 in its last 5 games against a team with a winning outright record.

The Tigers are 15-9 O/U this season, highlighting their ability to consistently score. Combined with Alabama’s top-ranked offense, BET OVER 152.5 (-115).

Alabama at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Alabama Crimson Tide at Auburn Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1 SEC) and Auburn Tigers (6-5, 3-4) continue their 128-year-old rivalry Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium. Below, we look at the Alabama vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Alabama earned a hard-fought 42-35 victory over Arkansas last Saturday. QB Bryce Young threw for 559 yards and five touchdowns in the triumph in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide rank eighth in the nation in passing with 344.1 yards per game and second nationally with 44.4 points per game — only Ohio State has scored more.

The Tigers dropped their third straight game Saturday when they fell 21-17 at South Carolina as the Gamecocks held Auburn to just three points over the final 45 minutes. The Tigers are now 0-3 ATS over their last three games and are 2-6 ATS across their last eight games played in Weeks 10-13.

Alabama leads the Iron Bowl series 47-37-1. The two sides have split the last four games; Alabama won the 2020 meeting by a score of 42-13. The Tide didn’t allow an Auburn touchdown until late in the fourth quarter in that meeting.

Alabama at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 38, Auburn 20

Money line

PASS: figure the true odds as being obscured in the middle, and that saps the value from both plays.

Against the spread

The home side has held sway in recent games. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Crimson Tide are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games at Auburn.

The Auburn passing game — the Tigers’ preferred method of locomotion — doesn’t rely on a lot of big plays but it is one that does well to stay ahead of the chains.

And not being too run-reliant is a key against the Alabama defense. Auburn also does well to stifle havoc plays, and that’s another big key against the Tide.

Any “turnover luck” in the numbers has helped Alabama while hurting their neighbors to the east.

BACK THE TIGERS +20.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Tigers will utilize their aerial game, and the Crimson Tide will want as many style points as they can muster. On a decent-weather day in the Yellowhammer State, TAKE THE OVER 57.5 (-112).
