Iron Bowl Prediction

My prediction is that I truly have no idea what to expect. For the first time since 2010 (and 2014 to an extent) I really don't have any feel at all for the game.
Alabama has moving parts and has looked great at times and very mortal at others. Auburn looks like the most balanced, greatest team of all-time at times but there are others where Stidham looks like a battered housewife. Auburn's defense is fantastic, but then again this same (and I'd argue slightly worse) Alabama offense had 500 yards against it last year.
I really don't know. I do know there are explosive players all over the field (on both offense and defense) and that it should be an exciting, nausea inducing game (for those of us emotionally invested).

I don’t know either but that won’t stop me from talking shite all week
I can’t decide whether I want a blowout or another greatest ending of all time

Well of course not. WTF is the point of all this if realistic expectation = internet persona confidence level?

No team scores 20.
Scoring margin is 3-4 points.
Final somewhere around 17-13.
I wanna give Bama the edge because of QB composure difference, but with the game at JHS I could see it go either way.

I predict winner is a lock to win the West.

I'd agree. I suspect it is a 50/50 game that will be 1 score, maybe someone gets a 2 score lead late.
I was hopeful until our best LB and Nickel went down Saturday. When those two guys were our for a stretch our D played their worst games of the season Ole Miss/LSU. Of course, that also included the Free Safety out as well...so maybe it was just because he was gone. :) Wishful thinking.
Either way I expect a great game.

Going to wait and see how many WWE videos Bamas LBs post on twitter.

No prediction, but I hope it goes 12 OTs.

Yea I would too if were a Georgia fan. Obviously because the winner would be tired, but more so because the winner's fanbase would probably all be dead of stress/heart attack/suicide and SECCG tickets would be easier to come by.

Jalen Hurts has been so clutch for Bama this year. IMO, if Bama is to win he's gonna have to be great.
Also think Legatron could be the difference.

Game is pretty much a foregone conclusion to me. If I didn’t have a debilitating case of Arthritis I would go and hit golf balls during the game. Or do yard work if I didn’t have a groundskeeper. 11 win season is a good season though.

I think if we can hit a few big plays early, we open up the play book. Keeping KJ(who should be a Heisman Candidate) from building steam is key. Stidham is deadly in Play action which Al. Also I think special teams play a big part and I give the edge to Auburn.
My heart says Alabama 27 Auburn 24

They aren't. However, we aren't very good at KR or PR, so we probably won't be able to take advantage of your weakness there.
Legatron is obvious. He shortens every drive down by 20 yards compared to most in terms of automatic points. On the flip side, JK has been booming punts the last month or so again, and he can completely change things in low scoring games.
Probably a wash in the end.

I think Bama wins 35-19. Legatron kicks 4 FG

I have no clue who will win, but I think whomever does will win by at least 17.

Bama by 14 in a game not that close.
Like the L7U game.
