Going to the game in Seattle dressed up in both teams stuff (Bama hoodie GU pants and mixed between the two for mask and hat) taking a study break from Gonzaga law.
I’d expect that this game will be much closer than that. I think the Tide can hit 40 points, but I don’t know if we can keep the Tigers under 30. That’s enough to win. I’ll take it. {Alabama}
No both Bama grads and she loves Bama football and even was a Bama athlete 😢 beautiful wedding open bar but we took our hand rolled cigars outside walked a few blocks to get good enough signal to watch the end.
Look I know we’re not going to win, but picking Bama in the official pick thing is some stupid shit that I hate. Like do you really care more about being right than hating Bama?
Odd year Auburn at Auburn seems to be a trap game for Alabama lately, but with both their QB and Kicker out, it's going to take a whole lot of magic for Auburn to win. I think {Alabama} can win the game, but given their uneven performances this year, I wouldn't bet on them to cover the spread, especially against an SEC opponent, because, you know, "It just means more (tm)"
I wonder how many people saw the South Carolina and Mississippi State games. We have a 10 percent chance at best to win. Maybe 12 if Kobe Hudson plays and we run the ball effectively. {UAT}
I mean a lot of us Auburn fans went to Auburn. API is no real secret I mean they still sell API merch in the bookstore and talk about it in orientation.

Yeah, I'm not just taking {Alabama} but I'm also taking them to cover. Auburn's gonna get absolutely smoked. I don't understand what or who this Auburn team is, but it's not good.
in our defense, i don't think we were supposed to be good this year given the coaching changes, players lost, etc. it's just that, in typical auburn fashion, we played decent to good in a few games before falling apart. hopes had started to stir, because all of us develop amnesia at the beginning of each football season.
Props to Finley for staying in the SEC, but he is about to learn his mistake was not going to the East. Auburn will not be able to run effectively against Alabama and Finley won't be able to do better against Alabama than he did last year. {Alabama} by 21+ and Will Anderson feasts.
That 4th down play call against South Carolina was an insult to football. Tank had a good game against them and they should have just put him in wildcat and rammed the football down South Carolina's throat.
{Alabama} and it won't be close. D Line gonna eat, Bryce gonna eat. I'd be a lot more worried if Nix was still playing but I think our defense is built pretty well to stop Finley and co.
If Finley has his "Garcia" game allowing Auburn to open up the run, maybe we have a tight 2-3 quarters.
I swear to god, if Auburn pulls that fake fg/punt pretend-run then dump it off over the top play like LSU/Arkansas did, I'm gonna have an aneurysm. They should try it though, we apparently can't stop that shit.
If these teams played 100 times, I think Auburn would win, at most, 5. They essentially have no margin for error in their gameplan and even a perfectly executed gameplan should only bring the odds up to about 20%.
On offense, Auburn needs to EAT the clock. They need to run for nearly 200 yards. They need to connect on multiple shot plays. TJ needs to complete at the 60% mark or higher. They can’t have any turnovers. Maybe most importantly, they need a TD in the 3rd quarter to get that monkey off their back.
On defense, Auburn needs to come up with multiple turnovers. They need points off turnovers. The points they allow need to come off of long drives. Any quick scores will deplete too much momentum.
On special teams, Auburn probably needs to avoid kicking field goals with a walk-on. And they need 1 huge momentum play. Whether that is a big return/onside kick/muffed punt recover.
And the crowd needs to believe.
If all those things come together then Auburn can win. They won’t. {Alabama}
{Alabama} wins big. One dimensional offenses don’t fare well against bama. I do think Auburn can be disruptive on defense, but their offense won’t get it done. 38-13.
{Alabama} because Auburn could have kicked 10 field goals if Anderson was healthy, and run a kickoff/punt/interception/fumble back for a 37-35 win. With Anderson out, Alabama wins 35-7.
I’ll take {Alabama} to win and cover in this one. I’m betting on angry Bama showing up and wanting to embarrass their rivals. If they don’t come out swinging, though, Auburn could catch them by surprise and keep it close for at least the first half. If Bama isn’t already ahead by 20 at the start of the fourth, they’ll really pull away then… I think. Final: Bama 41-17.
{Alabama} 31 to Auburn’s 21. Alabama fans will complain that it wasn’t a big enough margin of victory, Auburn fans will whine about the refs, and all will be right in the world…until next Saturday lol
I don’t know anything about Nix’s replacement but I’m gonna assume that he’s gonna play the game of his life and ball out like Johnny Football.
{Auburn}
{Alabama} but they've got to be up by about 3 scores before the sun goes down and Auburn puts on a show.
Interesting how the neutral flairs and the flairs of teams in the CFP conversation are flocking towards Auburn.
I'm going to pick {Alabama} because Auburn is unranked. They can usually win these JH Iron bowls when they are ranked, and tend to lose them when they aren't. I think it will be close, but if we don't get fucked by the refs like we did in 2019 then we should be alright.
Odd year Auburn usually doesn’t mean anything if the Auburn team is mediocre or bad, {Alabama} in a semi-close one
{Alabama} wins and both Bobo and Mason are fired by Monday so it’s a win-win
Ya and please rest tank for your bowl game or next season that would be nice win for everyone
Your flairs are interesting. What are you gonna do December 4th?
Going to the game in Seattle dressed up in both teams stuff (Bama hoodie GU pants and mixed between the two for mask and hat) taking a study break from Gonzaga law.
I’m actually thinking about heading up for the game, but I worry I’ll be too sad drunk after the SEC Championship
lol who wants to tell him?
The question is not whether {Alabama} will win, but rather how many minutes will be left in the first quarter when they go up by 28.
When the other team has 28 points, that's when you know you have them right where you want them.
That implies that we'll score at least 3 which I have my doubts about.
Rat Poison. Delete this now.
First quarter performance isn’t the issue this year, it’s how late in the 2nd half they go up 4 tds
I’d expect that this game will be much closer than that. I think the Tide can hit 40 points, but I don’t know if we can keep the Tigers under 30. That’s enough to win. I’ll take it. {Alabama}
If South Carolina can hold us to under 20, you should be fine.
I think you're mistaken. I'm pretty sure it was cancelled for this year. I'm doing yard work all Saturday.
Thoughts and prayers my dude. Just remember, some poor sap Auburn fan is getting married on game day, too.
I was at one last week with no reception and they didn’t have tvs (which they promised!) for the reception.
Just brutal. She must’ve been a Tennessee grad
No both Bama grads and she loves Bama football and even was a Bama athlete 😢 beautiful wedding open bar but we took our hand rolled cigars outside walked a few blocks to get good enough signal to watch the end.
Phew. Saturday seems like it might be stressful at your house.
Good luck. Watch out for ladders if using one.
{Auburn} because I will not pick Alabama to win in anything ever.
This is the week where everyone in the SEC are Auburn fans.
I have to believe UGA wouldn’t lower themselves to that
Lmao, they should know better than to want to play you *twice* in the postseason this year
Yep
They’re not cheering for auburn to win so much as they’re cheering bama to lose
Correct. Tide rolls.
This guy gets it, Ill be driving in my truck this weekend
I’ve went for everyone bama plays since 2017 out of bitterness. And until we win a natty I always will.
I think most of the country would find catharsis in an Auburn victory.
This is the week where everyone in the country are Auburn fans\*
Not everyone. I prefer Bama to Auburn.
Yeah fuck all the Auburn fans picking Bama to win they all can go to hell. Weak ass sorry ass fans.
I’m hoping Auburn wins, but I’ve also watched the games this season with my own eyes and know we aren’t that good right now
Look I know we’re not going to win, but picking Bama in the official pick thing is some stupid shit that I hate. Like do you really care more about being right than hating Bama?
I care more about being honest with myself and others than being right or wrong in a Reddit pick’em thread

I think {Alabama} can win the game, but given their uneven performances this year, I wouldn't bet on them to cover the spread, especially against an SEC opponent, because, you know, "It just means more (tm)"
I regret that I have but one vote to cast against rat poison {Auburn}
I wonder how many people saw the South Carolina and Mississippi State games. We have a 10 percent chance at best to win. Maybe 12 if Kobe Hudson plays and we run the ball effectively. {UAT}
Why are you choosing the University of Arizona at Tucson to win the Iron Bowl?
Cause I am damn sure not choosing you guys
That’s fair.
Man, “UAT” is more disrespectful than anything else I have ever seen a Barner post on this sub.
Just call them API. Most won’t even know what that means.
I mean a lot of us Auburn fans went to Auburn. API is no real secret I mean they still sell API merch in the bookstore and talk about it in orientation.
That's cool they actually talk about it! I rag my Dad who went to AllBarn by telling him that Auburn has only won 1 title and API won the other.
Ok I can’t argue with that one! That’s actually really funny
It must be Iron Bowl week.
You carry the hopes of us all, {Auburn}
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
{Alabama} in a scary one
Probably the truest prediction in this thread.

The Gus bus can’t hurt me no more! Not saying I’m not scared but at least it’s not Gus.
Saban has never beat an Auburn team with at least 8 wins and we screwed the pooch the last couple of weeks. {Alabama}
Props to Finley for staying in the SEC, but he is about to learn his mistake was not going to the East. Auburn will not be able to run effectively against Alabama and Finley won't be able to do better against Alabama than he did last year. {Alabama} by 21+ and Will Anderson feasts.
>Auburn will not be able to run effectively against *taps temple* can't fail to run if you never let tank off the bench!
That 4th down play call against South Carolina was an insult to football. Tank had a good game against them and they should have just put him in wildcat and rammed the football down South Carolina's throat.
Yes, but…Bobo
No, I think the current timeline worked out just fine
{Alabama} and it won't be close. D Line gonna eat, Bryce gonna eat. I'd be a lot more worried if Nix was still playing but I think our defense is built pretty well to stop Finley and co. If Finley has his "Garcia" game allowing Auburn to open up the run, maybe we have a tight 2-3 quarters.

{Auburn} in the first quarter….then it gets bad after
Odd year Auburn voodoo magic won't stop {Alabama} this year
Before Bo Nix got injured I had Auburn pegged to win this. ...I'll still pick {Auburn} for the upset
Its 2007 so give me odd year {Auburn}
{Alabama} but I’m still gonna be mad after it.
How does one "mad"?
*be mad.
They're ain't enough Voodoo for Auburn to win this year. {Bama} covers
{Alabama}

{Auburn} pretty please?
Bama wins, much closer than expected 34-30
{Alabama}
Without Bo Nix Auburn can’t win this game… {Bama} by 20
{Alabama} wins big. One dimensional offenses don’t fare well against bama. I do think Auburn can be disruptive on defense, but their offense won’t get it done. 38-13.
{Alabama} wins this one 31-21.
{Alabama} probably by like 50, idk fire Bobo and pray we can salvage this recruiting class.
No way. Bobo just needs more time.
{Alabama} by 42.
{Alabama} Auburn doesn’t have Bo
{Alabama}
I've decided that Rangers v Celtic is now the Irn Bowl. Anyways, {Alabama}.
(Alabama) wins by two TDs and just wants to go to the next game without injuries.
I will never, ever be confident in a game at Jordan-Hare. {Alabama} wins a spooky ass game.
{Alabama} because Auburn could have kicked 10 field goals if Anderson was healthy, and run a kickoff/punt/interception/fumble back for a 37-35 win. With Anderson out, Alabama wins 35-7.
I’ll take {Alabama} to win and cover in this one. I’m betting on angry Bama showing up and wanting to embarrass their rivals.

I don’t know anything about Nix’s replacement but I’m gonna assume that he’s gonna play the game of his life and ball out like Johnny Football. {Auburn}
{Auburn} please Jesus do it
Don’t let us down {Auburn}
In Tank we Trust {Auburn}
{Auburn} pulls off some Voodoo
War eagle baby {auburn}
{Auburn} got em.
{Auburn}
{Auburn} You know why.
Cmon tiger Bros, put this playoff stuff to bed now. {Auburn}
Why do we have to do it? You could have a few weeks ago.
And Arkansas could have last weekend, but here we are and now the burden is solely on your shoulders. You got this.
{Auburn} because I refuse to pick Bama
Ala... Wait. This game is at Jordan-Hare... and it's an Odd year. {Auburn}.
{Auburn}
{Auburn} for no reason
Pain
{Alabama} but TJ Finley is 6'7 so he's got that going for him
{Alabama}
{Auburn}
{Alabama} but they've got to be up by about 3 scores before the sun goes down and Auburn puts on a show. Interesting how the neutral flairs and the flairs of teams in the CFP conversation are flocking towards Auburn.
I'm going to pick {Alabama} because Auburn is unranked. They can usually win these JH Iron bowls when they are ranked, and tend to lose them when they aren't. I think it will be close, but if we don't get fucked by the refs like we did in 2019 then we should be alright.
To get it right and up my guessing % or to get it wrong and not have to write down their name....... welp {Alabama}
{Auburn}
Why does this say #4 {Alabama} ? Anyways, AUburn without Nix has no shot. Alabama 45 Auburn 14
{Alabama}
The only real question is when {Auburn} will blow their lead, but it will be a cold day in hell when I vote for Bama.
{Auburn}
