Alabama live home dog?

Auburn was overrated, but now everyone knows they aren't great...still I think they are slightly overvalued. Won't touch this one, but I would take a shot with Bama if I were to bet it.

I took the tide plus three on Sunday night. Not a strong play however I feel thats the side to be on in that game

No. Auburn takes this one.

I've been trying to get a grip on this game myself, and I can't seem to get one at all. I know it's a rivalry game and all, and both teams leave it all out there on the field every year. I'm just wondering if those 3 points are sucker points or not myself Slew.

Auburn is in a very fragile mindset right now - I have been hearing reports that the players almost feel like there is nothing to play for this week. The best case scenario is a return trip to the Capital One Bowl, a game they obviously didn't give two shits about last year, as they laid an egg against a much inferior Wisconsin team.
John Parker Wilson is turning into a star. He has playmakers all over the field, and - even though Shula continues to play his third best running back (Darby) - Alabama will muster up enough of a running game to give him time. Alabama's defense is good enough to stop that joke of an Auburn offense, especially since Cox is:
a) terrible
b) hurting
c) likely not to play
The problem with taking Alabama is that the Tide doesn't know how to win close games. Luckily for them, this one shouldn't be close. Hope I'm wrong, but:
Alabama 23, Auburn 7

Being an Auburn fan, it must be hard to say that. I guess as an OSU fan it is hard to say that my team's biggest rival has a fair chance of pulling out the win this weekend too.
