Very confident but I said the same thing last year. as we all know anything can happen in rivalry games I expect 1 or 2 upsets this weekend but not in T Town. 38 24 RT

Vegas makes money for a reason. Bama played below average last year particularly in the kicking game. Should be a good game as they usually are.

Not sure if I would be that confident. I think you win about 4/5 times. Good luck and hope to see you in SEC Championship.

I'm feeling less and less confident the more I think about it, honestly. I really feel like Alabama will come out tight and Auburn will come out playing with nothing to lose. Plus I just feel like something weird is going to go down late. Auburn just seems to be Saban's Kryptonite, whether we like it or not.

51% confident. They have nothing to lose. We have everything to lose. We will play tight and that may cost us.

That's been the situation in every Iron Bowl these Bama players have ever seen.

Just an aside, maybe irrelevant, but it seems to me that in both his press conference and radio show yesterday, Saban didn't discuss how he thought the team practiced, not even the usual positive coachspeak. I found that odd.

Not confident at all.


Really think we struggle containing a more athletic qb like Marshall

He is 4 and 3 against Auburn at Bama. All three losses were by 7 points or less. Hardly kryptonite.

2-3 at LSU. 6-6 overall. Who else in the SEC has had that much success against him?

You were also sure A&M would handle us so maybe this is a good sign.

LSU has just as many wins against Saban since he has been at Alabama as Auburn.

I mean, I don't have a good feeling, but I never do. I standby what I said in this thread. That's how it works. If I was confident, Auburn would win on a 100 yard fumble recovery.

Auburn worries me. Potent offense of the type that gives Bama trouble and Blake has gotten away with several errant passes that should have been picked, but were dropped. Seems like you can only get away with that for so long. Is this the week it catches up with him? Who knows, but Auburn is gonna play with reckless abandon because their season has went to hell and all they can do for redemption is ruin Alabama's. We are the better team, but same was true last year with a QB that was a 3 yr starter and 2x national champ.

Blake hasn't had a lot of those dropped interceptions lately, and we have improved a lot week to week, which hasn't happened a whole lot. We will hopefully come out angry and set the tone running the ball. If we play well we will win pretty big I think, if we get the dumb penalties, fumbles and other mental mistakes we will be in a close game again.

We should win this one. No excuses. That being said, a loss would suck but in my mind, this team has exceeded all my expectations from the beginning.

I expected us to finish reg. season play at 9-3. I would love it though if we were to beat the boogs and get some revenge. 49-0 would be good.

Confidence: 9/10 .... they just have the luck of Satan sometimes.
