While this is by no means the Iron Bowl, rest assured that these teams hate each other regardless of the sport, which usually means an intense battle will breakout. The Tide will have to take the floor for this one without a key player in Tony Mitchell who has been suspended by Coach Anthony Grant for conduct detrimental to the team. That takes 13 points per game and 31 quality minutes away from the Tide in this one. The Tigers have been awful on the road, but at 12-1 at home they are a much different team. The Tigers have allowed their last five opponents to average just 53.8 points per game here, and a handicapped Tide team may fall below offensive expectations as well. The Tigers’ defense has led the way to a 12-5 UNDER mark in their last 17 at home, so play the UNDER in this one.
