Top 10 College Football Rivalry Week picks against the spread

3. Alabama (-19) at Auburn Saturday 3:30 PM ET, CBS

A little of the luster has been knocked off the Iron Bowl. The Tigers are just 6-5 and will be without starting quarterback Bo Nix. TJ Finley the former LSU quarterback will start in his place and while he’s a talented kid, it’s a tough spot.

Alabama has already clinched a spot in the SEC championship game, but the Tide are fighting for their playoff lives.

Ever since the loss to Texas A&M, it’s been win or go home in terms of making the playoff for Bama and the Tide have responded, even though it needed to stop Arkansas on a final drive to win by six in Tuscaloosa last week.

The Tigers will be motivated but Alabama is just too good. Bryce Young is aiming to lock up the Heisman trophy and Bama will be looking to score style points too.

Bryan Harsin gets his first taste of coaching against Nick Saban and suddenly, Auburn fans might feel a longing for Gus Malzahn.

Score: Alabama 41, Auburn 17
