Players to watch: Alabama vs Auburn.
Welcome to the Alabama vs Auburn Iron Bowl 2016 preview! With only a few weeks left in the regular season, these two teams are battling for SEC supremacy. Who will come out on top?
Looking at the stats, it's clear that Alabama is the clear-cut favorite. They have more points (458 to Auburn's 424), more touchdowns (33 to 24), and more first downs (325 to 241). However, there is one area where Auburn holds a slight advantage - passing yards. The Tigers have thrown for 3,137 yards while the Crimson Tide has only managed 2,818. This could be an important difference as Iron Bowl games usually come down to who can put points on the board first.
So who should you watch in this game? Obviously, Jalen Hurts is a big name to watch for Alabama.
Predictions for the game.
Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers fans are gearing up for their annual Iron Bowl showdown on December 3rd. With both teams coming into the game with very different records, it's hard to predict who will come out on top. However, here are three predictions for the game:
1) The Alabama Crimson Tide will come out victorious in what will be their eighth victory in a row. The offense led by quarterback AJ McCarron and running back T.J. Yeldon will be too much for Auburn's feeble defense to handle.
2) Auburn Tigers fans should not give up yet! Despite being down 24-7 at halftime, the Auburn Tigers managed to score 31 second-half points to tie the game at 31 apiece. This shows that even when behind, there is still hope for a comeback win.
