Bragging rights, a bowl game and a trip to the College Football Playoff are all on the line for this year’s Iron Bowl. No. 10 Alabama (9-2, 6-1) enters the rivalry game looking to lock up a trip to the SEC Championship Game. Meanwhile, Auburn (5-6, 1-6) is hoping to salvage its season by spoiling the Tide’s playoff chances while securing bowl eligibility.
After opening as 3.5-point favorites, Alabama has seen the spread climb to 6.5. The Tide has won the last five Iron Bowls and holds a 51–37–1 advantage in the rivalry. Last year, Alabama beat Auburn 28-14 inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
