This year’s edition of the Iron Bowl finds Alabama clinging to unlikely odds of making the playoff as it hosts Auburn on Saturday. Here’s what the oddsmakers are predicting for the game.

Alabama dropped a shocking 24-3 decision at Oklahoma last week that put its College Football Playoff hopes on life support, and most likely out of the picture at 8-3.

Auburn is coming off a stunning four-overtime win at home against SEC title hopeful Texas A&M and needs to win this game to finish bowl eligible at 5-6 in Hugh Freeze’s debut season.

What do the wiseguys expect will happen as the Crimson Tide welcomes the Tigers this weekend?
