Auburn welcomes Alabama to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the 88th Iron Bowl, and the Crimson Tide are heavy favorites to beat the Tigers for a third straight season.

College Football Week 13 Alabama vs. Auburn odds preview

Alabama and Auburn hosted bye games in Week 12 that resulted in an easy victory for the Crimson Tide, while things didn’t go as planned for the Tigers. Bama cruised to a 56-point victory over Chattanooga, and Auburn was soundly defeated by New Mexico State.

The Tigers forked over $1.85 million to the Aggies for what should’ve been a tune-up game ahead of the Iron Bowl. Instead, New Mexico State left Jordan-Hare with a 31-10 win, outscoring Auburn 21-3 in the second half.

Auburn was riding high going into Week 12, winning three straight games by double digits. The 6-5 Tigers are having a down year in Hugh Freeze’s first season at Auburn, but the New Mexico State upset put the program at a low before the biggest game of the year.

Alabama has continued taking care of business in the home stretch of the regular season. Jalen Milroe took some time to get acclimated but has found his mojo, scoring three touchdowns or more in each of the past three games.

Best Alabama vs. Auburn game props and odds: Over 48.5 (-110 or better)

It’s impossible to gauge Auburn players’ confidence levels after suffering the most embarrassing loss of the college football season. Plus, the Tigers should come out with a lot more fire compared to Week 12. The Iron Bowl is one of the most storied rivalries in the sport, after all.

To avoid guessing how competitive the game will be, wagering on the total appears to be a safer bet. Alabama’s points-per-game average ranks third in the SEC, and the Crimson Tide have scored 30+ in four consecutive games.

Auburn’s defense allowed 15 points or less in the three weeks leading up to the New Mexico State upset. That didn’t stop the Aggies from gaining 414 yards of offense, including three touchdowns and no interceptions from Aggies QB Diego Pavia.

Anticipate Alabama’s offense to light it up on Saturday en route to another Iron Bowl victory.

Best Alabama vs. Auburn player props and odds: Jalen Milroe to throw an interception (+105 or better)

Interceptions have been a minor issue for Milroe this season due to his inaccuracy on mid-level passes. The sophomore’s six picks are tied for the sixth-most in the SEC this season.

Since the Week 4 win vs. Ole Miss, Milroe has thrown an interception in every other game this season, a trend spanning eight weeks. After avoiding turnovers in last week’s triumph over Chattanooga, history tells us Milroe is due for a giveaway.
