One of the most anticipated games of the college football season has arrived, as the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers are set to officially collide in the 2024 Iron Bowl this Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa.
This year’s version of the Iron Bowl is also a significant one as well, as both teams have something to play for Saturday afternoon. Alabama keeps their slim chances at making the College Football Playoff alive, while Auburn has to defeat the Crimson Tide in order to make a bowl game.
A truly must-win game for the Crimson Tide in which Alabama must make a statement for the College Football Playoff committee, here is who our Roll Tide Wire staff has winning the 2024 Iron Bowl:
Matt’s Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide 33, Auburn Tigers 20
Auburn has not come to Tuscaloosa, and left with a win since 2010, which is when Cam Newton was under center at quarterback for a Tigers team that went on to win the national championship later that season. Since, the Tigers have lost a total of six-straight in Tuscaloosa against the Crimson Tide, none of which were one-possession games.
While both teams have something to play for in this year’s meeting, the pick to win goes to Alabama, with a big reason as to why being the home-field advantage. Alabama needs an impressive win to keep their slim CFP hopes alive, and I’ll say that they get that victory Saturday afternoon.
Sam’s Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide 35, Auburn Tigers 17
The Iron Bowl is far from an easy victory, especially given how the Tide performed a week ago. However, Jalen Milroe and the Alabama offense has had to listen to criticism from Auburn all week long. It will also be Alabama’s final chance to impress the committee and make the 12 team field.
Steve’s Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide 28, Auburn Tigers 20
Predicting a winner here feels like a fool’s errand,…
