Alabama is 10-1 and playing for the chance to clinch the SEC West with sites on another College Football Playoff appearance.

In the state of Alabama, there is one game that matters every year: Alabama vs. Auburn.

Running back Derrick Henry is a Heisman Trophy front runner. Auburn has been struggling all season and they have lost three of their last five.

The over/under for the game right now is at 48.5 points. The Crimson Tide are now getting 85 percent of the wagers despite giving up the 14.5 points at Auburn.

Auburn can ruin all that, dashing its hated rival’s championship dreams, but the Tigers face an uphill road.

The Alabama run defense ranks No. 2 in the nation (77.8 yards per game) and have allowed just six scores all season.
