Auburn Tigers fans have a love/hate relationship with their embattled head coach Gus Malzahn. They love that Malzahn is one of the few coaches that can boast multiple wins over Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban. They hate that the Tigers are often inconsistent with the CFB odds and that their offense lacks imagination. What is most ironic of all is that just six years ago Gus was being hailed as an offensive genius that had reinvented the sport. This Saturday War Eagle hosts Roll Tide in the Iron Bowl. Alabama has no margin for error if it wants to stay in the College Football Playoff hunt.

Alabama Crimson Tide Vs. Auburn Tigers Odds Analysis
Alabama will not have the same cache with the CFB Odds due to starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being out with injury. But the Tide still commands national respect and will garner its share of support. Auburn is seen by many to be a live home dog. Offsetting that is the discombobulated Malzahn offense.
The Matchup
Auburn enters this game with a record of 8-3 both straight up and against the spread with seven unders. War Eagle boasts the nation’s 11th ranked scoring defense but that has been offset by an offense ranked 54th in the country. It has been a year of on the job training for freshman quarterback Bo Nix. But keep in mind Nix came up big in the season opener with a late game winning touchdown pass against Oregon.
The Tide Rolls into Jordan Hare Stadium with a record of 10-1 straight up, 6-5 against the spread, and 6-5 over the total. Mac Jones has played well in place of Tua but has not faced a defense anywhere as close to as goods as Auburn’s. However, the loss of Tua could force the Tide into playing more basic fundamental and complementary football. Ironically their team game could improve in this crisis.
Offensive Concerns on Both Sides
Alabama’s defense is ranked 10th in the nation for points allowed. Auburn’s offensive inconsistency must end on Saturday. Does Gus have some tricks up his sleeve? In the same way Mac Jones is not a proven commodity on this level or stage.
Alabama And Auburn Against the Spread
The Crimson Tide Are:

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Auburn Tigers College Football Free Pick
Gus Malzahn’s life seems to be lived on the hot seat. However, a win in this one could cool off his rear end for a while. Certainly, Auburn as the defensive front that can set up an opportunity for the upset. Alabama has spent most of the past two seasons playing one way with Tua. Now they have to adjust on the fly to play a vastly different way in the biggest game of the year at an opponent with a powerful defense set to spring the trap.
