Even though NFL betting<\/a> will be all the rage beginning on Thursday, those still nursing a turkey hangover can work it off with some Iron Bowl betting as Auburn prepares to host No.2 Alabama in the 74th<\/sup> edition of this bitter rivalry. The Crimson Tide are<\/span> large NCAA football betting favorites in this contest, and they should be able to cover by following the plan which got them here, <\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Alabama vs<\/span> Auburn betting<\/a> – Friday, November 27, 2:30 PM ET<\/span><\/font><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide (11-0, 7-0) had no problems with the NCAA football spread in a 45-0 mauling of Chattanooga at home, as most of their first-string players were sitting by halftime. Mark Ingram’s 102 yards led an atatck<\/span> that ran for 313 yards, and the Heisman candidate also had a pair of touchdowns. The Crimson Tide defense, which is second in the nation, showed no mercy against <\/span><\/font>Chattanooga<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, allowing 84 yards and forcing three turnovers. This was the sixth time this year that Alabama<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> had held an opponent to seven points or less. 
  <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, the Tigers (7-4, 3-4) fell 31-24 at <\/span><\/font>Georgia<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> behind two picks from Chris Todd, who was 20-of-28 for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns as well. Ben Tate managed only 67 yards on the ground, and he has just one 100-yard game in his last four games after three in a row. The Tigers also gave up 169 yards on the ground, which isn’t a surprise as Auburn<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> is 88th<\/sup> in the country in run defense. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

NCAA football betting<\/a> odds in your sportsbook are favoring <\/span><\/font>Alabama<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> by 12 points on the road, and last year, they broke a six-game losing skid to their rivals with a 36-0 beatdown<\/span> in Tuscaloosa<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. It may not be that bad this year, but the Crimson Tide’s ground game will allow Alabama<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> to control the clock, and the Tigers should have been working on rushing defense during their entire bye week. The week off won’t make a difference as Alabama<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> had a cupcake game. Look for the Crimson Tide to roll right into their SEC title showdown with Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
