Alabama Football vs. Auburn: Iron Bowl Result Prediction

The first Iron Bowl of the Kalen DeBoer era is here.

No. 13 Alabama Football hosts Auburn on Saturday, with the Crimson Tide having a glimmer of hope in the College Football Playoff and the Tigers with bowl eligibility on the line.

Alabama has won four straight against Auburn and hasn’t lost an Iron Bowl at home since 2010. However, DeBoer wants to become the first Alabama coach since Dennis Franchione to win his first Iron Bowl.

Alabama will face Auburn at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

Here’s what the Crimson Tide can expect from the Tigers on Saturday.

Auburn football players to know

RB Jarquez Hunter: The defense was rarely able to stop Jarquez Hunter. He leads the SEC with 6.6 yards per carry. He has had four games with more than 100 rushing yards, including three of his last four appearances. If Auburn beats Alabama, it will be because the Crimson Tide became Hunter’s latest victim.
LB Jalen McLeod: The Auburn linebacker and Tigers’ primary edge rusher has made a habit of finding his home in the opposing backfield. Jalen McLeod leads Auburn with 12.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. He has recorded three tackles for a loss and two sacks in his last two games. McLeod will be a tough final assignment for Alabama’s offensive tackles in the regular season.
WR Keandre Lambert-Smith: The last two weeks have been all about freshman Cam Coleman and his 100-yard games against Louisiana-Monroe and Texas A&M. Don’t forget Keandre Lambert-Smith: the 6-foot-1, 181-pound Penn State transfer who leads the SEC with eight touchdown receptions and had 100-yard games of his own against Louisiana-Monroe and Texas A&M.

Alabama vs Auburn score prediction

No. 13 Alabama 28, Auburn 24: Throw away statistics, records and past performances. This is the Iron Bowl, a game that has been decided by a single score in three of Alabama and Auburn’s last five meetings. What could be an advantage? The Crimson Tide’s defense is playful and playful against Thorne, although he has four interceptions in his last eight games following a four-interception game against Cal. One insight could make the difference on Saturday and give DeBoer his first Iron Bowl victory.
