Game Outlook
One of college football’s fiercest rivalries gets the primetime spotlight as the #10 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on the Auburn Tigers in the “always testy Iron Bowl.” With a 9-2 record, Alabama looks to handle business on the road and cap off their regular season with a statement win against their in-state rival. Auburn, meanwhile, has the ultimate opportunity to play spoiler in front of a raucous home crowd.
What to Watch for: Alabama
The Crimson Tide enter this rivalry matchup as a road favorite, bringing a potent passing attack that has been “clicking on all fronts” this season. Under coach Kalen DeBoer, Alabama has navigated a tough schedule to position itself as a top-10 team.
From an injury perspective, Alabama appears to be in relatively good shape for this late-season clash. Key offensive guard Parker Brailsford and running back Jam Miller have been listed as probable, bolstering an offense that will need to be firing on all cylinders in a hostile environment. On the defensive side, the probable status of defensive lineman Tim Keenan III is a significant boost for a unit tasked with quieting the home crowd early.
What to Watch for: Auburn
Auburn faces the tall task of slowing down a top-tier opponent, but the chaotic magic of Jordan-Hare at night can never be discounted. The Tigers will need a near-flawless performance to pull off the upset.
However, their efforts will be hampered by injuries to key players that have lingered throughout the season. The defense has been without cornerback Champ Anthony, who has been out since breaking his thumb early in the year and will “miss some time.” This long-term absence in the secondary could be a critical weakness against Alabama’s aerial assault. On offense, the Tigers have also been missing running back Durell Robinson, who was sidelined with a leg injury in September, limiting their depth in the backfield.
Prediction
While rivalry games often defy logic, the key matchups in this contest favor the Crimson Tide. Alabama’s healthy and high-powered offense is well-equipped to exploit an Auburn secondary that has been without a key starter for most of the season.
The challenge for Auburn will be keeping pace offensively, a difficult proposition against a formidable Alabama defense, especially while missing a piece of their own running back rotation. The home-field advantage will keep the Tigers in the fight, but Alabama’s talent and relative health should allow them to pull away and secure a victory of more than a touchdown. Look for the Crimson Tide to win and cover the spread in a hard-fought battle.
Prediction: Alabama 27, Auburn 17
