Alabama -4.5 for 5.5 units- I have played one game all season on or against my alma mater and that was Arkansas at home as it was a easy win from start to finish. Now I take my Tideâs side in this one. Some may say my heart is involved, but last year in NCAAB and NCAAF I hit at over 70% betting on or against my team. You have a team that is quietly starting to come together as the youth is starting to turn into some leadership characteristics. Both teams virtually had a bye week last week, as Alabama rolled Georgia St, while Auburn was preparing for what could be their biggest Iron Bowl ever. What makes me think Alabama can derail Cam Newton?? There is not a better coach in America than Nick Saban of taking out one player in a game. Saban is a master mind at taking a key player and turning him into an average player, so Cam will not be Superman I do not believe in Tuscaloosa. Ask Mallet over his career, Tyrod Taylor last year, Thunder and Lightning two years ago in the Georgia Dome where they were held to 20 yards total rushing. Alabama has won the last two Iron Bowls and winners of 18 straight home games. This might possibly be the loudest this stadium has ever been with 100k plus and the most to play for since the expansion. Alabama can still get a BCS at large bid, but this game means much more than that at this time. I believe Alabama will have no issues moving the ball running with Ingram and T. Rich to open up the pass and Julio could have a monster game against a horrid secondary, one that Green torched, Jeffrey torched, Childs and Adams torched, so I look for Maze to be an X factor also. If Auburn gets behind early like they have all season and faced adversity, there will not be any coming back in Tuscaloosa. I believe you see Bama race to a lead and never look back as the Tigers and their 100th ranked pass defense finally get snake bit. Look for Bama to put up 28 + and Auburn to be held to one of their lowest point totals of the season as Bama wins this game by double digits.
