Alabama is coming into this game as a 7.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has been a very inconsistent team this season but they have been very good against ranked opponents. They are coming off of a big win against Baylor and will have a lot of confidence coming into this one. They will be extra motivated here since Auburn is on the longest active win streak in the NCAA right now and they came very close to beating Auburn last time, losing by 4 points at home so they will be out for their revenge here. Auburn has been playing very well all season but recently they have not been winning their conference games by a lot of points. The best bet to place in this game is on Alabama to cover the spread here and keep this game close.
