The current betting odds have Auburn listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Auburn has looked really good in their games this season with their 18-4 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have looked great in the SEC with their 7-2 conference record which has them right near the top and they have also looked great on their home court with their 11-0 home record. Meanwhile, Alabama has also looked good in their games this season with their 16-6 record overall which also has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have looked great in the SEC too with their 8-1 conference record which is leading the conference right now, but they haven't looked as good in their road games with their 3-2 road record. They haven't been a bad road team this year as they do have a winning road record still, but they definitely haven't been at their best in road games so Auburn is going to have a big advantage with the way they have looked at home this year. Auburn will also have some momentum from the win against Ole Miss in their last game which handed Mississippi their 1st home loss of the season. Auburn is going to bring their best effort here with the lead for the SEC on the line and the home advantage is going to help them edge out Alabama here. The best way to place a bet here is on Auburn to cover the spread in this game.
