I have studied this game and there are several reasons why I like Auburn +11.5. First of all, Auburn has traditionally played tough in this game and their record in Tuscaloosa is 7-7. Secondly, Hugh Freeze is a strange coach who definitely has his flaws but he will have his team totally prepared for Bama. He will pull out some trick plays and new wrinkles and do everything possible to win this game. Bama has to be a little deflated after losing to Oklahoma and blowing a chance at the playoffs. And finally, Auburn and Alabama have not been that different this year, not enough to warrant a 11.5 point spread. Both teams have won 3 of their last 5 and are actually playing close to equal right now. I think a fair line would be Alabama -6 but I will gladly take the 11.5.
Good luck with your wagers!

I tend to agree. 1 thing I've noticed is the last 3 meetings at Alabama have been blowouts. 22/29/31 pt losses for Auburn. Maybe this year is different? GL with your play regardless!!

Another thing I should mention, Hugh Freeze grew up in north Mississippi and went to college at USM and he absolutely hates Alabama. He has been listening to how great Bama was his whole life and he lives for these moments to get a crack at them. If y'all remember he beat Bama twice (2014 and 2015) when he was at Ole Miss, and he had them beat last year before that Hail Mary miracle finish. Just food for thought.
