Auburn at Alabama

It has been a dark season for the Auburn Tigers at 9-18. Auburn has had just one success in eight games played on the road this season. This game looks like a walk in the park for an Alabama team that has posted 18 wins on the season, and is tied for second place in the rugged SEC. It may look that way, but despite the lack of wins, the Tigers manage to stay in touch, and their last 12 games posted as a dog of +9.5 or more has them at a profitable 9-3 ATS mark. Alabama is not a blowout type of team, and beat Auburn by just 6 here last year. This season they have played seven conference home games with five of those decided by 5 points or less, and none by more than 10. The Tide has not been a good bet off a loss where they are a woeful 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16. Play on Auburn.
