Alabama at Auburn picks and predictions
Prediction
Alabama 37, Auburn 20
Moneyline
While Alabama (-650) should improve to 11-1 on the season, I'll PASS on its moneyline against Auburn. Backing a team at -650 odds is never a good idea, especially in a rivalry game.
Against the spread
ALABAMA -13.5 (-110) is an intriguing bet as the Crimson Tide are still trying to remain alive for a spot in the college football playoffs. Coach Nick Saban knows Alabama needs to win convincingly down the stretch and would need to take down No. 1 Georgia in the SEC championship game to have any chance of a playoff berth.
The Crimson Tide are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Meanwhile, the Tigers are 3-3 ATS at home this season.
Over/Under
OVER 48 (-110) is how I'd wager on the total as QB Jalen Milroe has settled in nicely for Alabama recently. Milroe has contributed at least 3 touchdowns — either passing or rushing — in 3 straight games.
The Crimson Tide are 8-2-1 to the Over on the season, and they have cleared the Over in 3 of their 4 road games thus far.
