This is one of my favorite games of the year. I'm making an early prediction that Auburn will beat Alabama at home provided the Tide are able to beat Miss St tonight. Auburn showed some life signs against Georgia and Cody Burns was able to get a little confidence today. Auburn's defense is top notch against the run. I see this as a total trap game for Alabama looking ahead to Florida. Alabama hasn't had this much success in a few years and their toughest games will be the next two games after tonight, AU and Florida. We also all know that Nick is good at losing one game a year he shouldn't, at least in his first few years at a program. I'm going out on a limb here but thats ok, it aint the first time!
Alabama has yet to win a convincing game at home this season. If Tubby can pull some of those tricks he used to pull on LSU earlier this decade, Bama is in for a real test.
I think Bama wins at home. They have played well all year. They pasted a good Ga. club, and squeeked by us when we played our best overall game of the year. They are for real. I think Fla. will beat Bama in the SECCG, but I think they handle Auburn. Will Tubs be thinking about a new gig? Auburn has a chance to win. It's a grudge game. Bama may be over confident, or looking ahead to Fla., but I don't think you can be looking ahead when playing your major in-state rival. I just don't think that will happen. Bama will be looking real hard to end their losing streak to AU, and I expect they will.
