Alabama and Auburn are set to meet in the Iron Bowl, with both teams looking to close out disappointing regular seasons in style. Alabama is hoping to make the College Football Playoffs while also aiming to continue their streak of double-digit victories and win a fifth straight Iron Bowl. Auburn, on the other hand, is still in contention for a bowl game and is trying to avoid a fourth consecutive losing season.
Key matchups to watch include Auburn’s defense against Alabama’s dual-threat quarterback, Jalen Milroe, who has been a force on the ground all season. Auburn’s RB Jarquez Hunter will be looking to continue his strong performances, while Alabama’s LB Justin Jefferson will be tasked with replacing the injured defensive leader, Deontae Lawson.
This game may not have significant national title implications for Alabama, but it is still an important rivalry clash. The Tide have dominated recent meetings at home, while Auburn will be looking to pull off an upset. History was made with Auburn having a 100-yard rusher and two 100-yard receivers in consecutive games for the first time in program history.
Fans can catch all the action on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST on ABC, with Alabama favored to win by 11.5 points according to BetMGM College Football Odds.
