Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/29/25

The Iron Bowl is one of the most chaotic, logic-defying rivalries in college football, and Auburn finds itself in the exact type of spoiler role where strange things tend to happen. Jordan-Hare Stadium has been a house of horrors for Alabama for decades, and the Tigers enter this matchup with absolutely nothing to lose. At 5–6, Auburn either wins and reaches a low-tier December bowl—which doesn’t mean much to this program—or misses the postseason entirely. But none of that matters compared to the chance to wreck Alabama’s entire season.

And the stakes for the Tide couldn’t be higher. A third loss would eliminate them from the playoff. It would also end their SEC Championship hopes, since it would give them a second conference loss and lock in both Georgia and Texas A&M. Alabama needs this game for survival; Auburn needs it for pride. That dynamic often flips the script in this rivalry. This is Auburn’s championship game, their last swing, and the final emotional surge after firing Hugh Freeze. When a rivalry consistently subverts logic and the underdog is live, you take the shot. The number says Auburn is dangerous. War Eagle
