This weekend marks the 87th Iron Bowl, which will be played on Saturday between the Alabama Crimson Tide, the host, and the Auburn Tigers. Alabama will not participate in the CFB playoffs for the first time since 2019, but a victory here would still put them in a strong position to secure a spot in a New Year's Day bowl game. If Auburn wins this game in a huge upset, they still have a slim chance of making it to the bowl game.

Auburn vs Alabama Betting Prediction
The Crimson Tide are too talented not to be picked as the favorites to win this clash. Having said that, the Crimson Tide's offense is a powerhouse but their defense might run into some trouble from the Tigers' offense. The Crimson Tide will be carrying home momentum in today's contest, but the Tigers should do just enough to cover the spread.
