The Crimson Tide have lost three games in a row as they get set to take on Auburn in their Rivalry Week matchup on Saturday night. The worst of those defeats came last week, when they fell 21-14 to the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.
Alabama was blanked in the second half in that contest to suffer the upset. Tide QB John Parker Wilson went 21-of-31 for 246 yards against the Warhawks, with one touchdown pass and two interceptions. Keith Brown had the TD grab, and Terry Grant rushed for a Tide major score in the loss. Alabama is now just 6-5 straight-up on the season, but they're also only 4-5-1 against-the-spread.
Auburn is slightly better at 7-4 straight-up this year, and they're 5-5 against-the-spread. The Tigers dropped in the rankings after they fell 45-20 to Georgia last time out.
Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox went 14-of-30 for 133 yards passing in that contest, with one touchdown pass and four big interceptions. Ben Tate ran for 58 yards and a sore in the defeat. Auburn is pegged as a 4.5-point favorite in this contest, with the OVER/UNDER set at 44.5.
