The Crimson Tide opened as a double-digit favorite over Auburn.
was heavily favored over Auburn when Circa Sports released the opening line for the game on Sunday. The Crimson Tide was an 11-point favorite for the Iron Bowl.The Tide was also a multi-score favorite for last year’s matchup between the two teams, played in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn covered and nearly won the game, with Nick Saban’s final UA team saved by a fourth-and-23 miracle catch.
In theory, the Crimson Tide can still make the playoff, but it would take an unlikely set of circumstances. It will be playing the Iron Bowl for a less obvious reward than Hugh Freeze’s Tigers.
