Alabama vs Auburn Odds & Picks: Betting On Defenses In Iron Bowl

Alabama and Auburn will face off in the 90th Iron Bowl on Saturday. The 9-2 Crimson Tide are 5.5-point favorites for this year's edition of the historic rivalry, and the total is 46.5 points. I like Alabama and the 5-6 Tigers to combine for under the 48.5-point total this game had earlier this week.

Alabama vs Auburn Pick

Total Under 48.5, -110 at FanDuel

Both programs have averaged fewer than 48.5 points per game in their SEC contests this season. Alabama's conference games have seen an average of 45.9 combined points, and Auburn's SEC games have had average totals of 41.4 points. Auburn's average combined SEC score even includes an 83-point explosion between the Tigers and Vanderbilt.

Looking at both SEC and out-of-conference games, unders have been strong bets for both programs this year. Unders are 7-3 for both teams in their last 10 respective games overall, according to our college football database, largely thanks to the above SEC averages leading to consistent unders.

Both of this year's teams have strong defenses anchored by productive linebackers. Xavier Atkins has been a game-changer for Auburn, recording 7.5 sacks, an interception, and an SEC-best 15.5 tackles for loss this season. The Tigers have allowed just 20.1 PPG, good for 26th in the nation. Alabama has its own difference maker in Yhonzae Pierre, who has six sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss. The Crimson Tide rank 10th in scoring, conceding just 16.2 PPG.

Auburn has really struggled in matchups against top-25 scoring defenses, according to Outlier. The Tigers are 0-5 SU and ATS, and notably the under is 5-0, in Auburn's last five matchups against such stop-units.

*Pick made Nov. 24th at 11:32 am ET prior to line movement. I'd feel a bit less confident in taking under 46.5, but a lot of the arguments in favor of taking the under still apply with this lower total.

Alabama vs Auburn Prop Pick

Simpson has averaged fewer than 276.5 passing yards per game this season by roughly 10 yards. He's gone under that total in seven games, including four games against SEC opponents and in six consecutive road games, according to Outlier. Auburn is also allowing notably fewer passing yards per game at 241.3, including 268.7 over their last three games.
