College Football Betting: Odds Favor Alabama over Auburn in Iron Bowl

Mississippi State will be aiming to solidify its position in the College Football Playoff Rankings when it meets the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday in the annual Egg Bowl game for a matchup that opened as a pick'em.

The Bulldogs improved to 10-1 last weekend with a dominating 51-0 victory over Vanderbilt, easily covering as 29.5-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark. The win comes on the heels of their 25-20 loss to Alabama two weeks ago, which toppled the Bulldogs from the top spot in the national rankings.

Mississippi enters Week 14 looking to end a stretch of four straight against-the-spread losses, 1-3 straight up, including a humbling 30-0 loss to Arkansas last weekend.

The Rebels posted a 41-24 win over the Bulldogs as slim one-point favorites the last time they hosted their in-state rivals, but they are 4-6 SU and 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 Egg Bowl matchups.

Alabama will be looking to avenge its Iron Bowl loss from last year when it faces Auburn as seven-point favorites on the Week 14 college football betting lines.

The Crimson Tide were denied a berth in last season’s national championship game in a stunning 34-28 loss to the Tigers in the last meeting between the two teams. Alabama looks poised for another championship run, riding a six-game SU winning streak, but has been a major betting disappointment this season, going 2-8-1 ATS, with its last ATS win coming in a 59-0 thrashing of Texas A&M in Week 8.

Alabama has enjoyed success in recent Iron Bowl matchups, going 4-2 SU in its last six against Auburn, 3-3 ATS, with the point total finishing OVER in their last three meetings.

No. 6 Ohio State continues its quest for a top-four spot in the CFP Rankings when it takes on Michigan as heavy 20-point favorites this weekend. Ohio State rides a nine-game SU winning streak into Saturday’s Wolverines vs. Buckeyes betting matchup at Ohio Stadium.

However, the squad has failed to cover in three of its last five games, while the 5-6 Wolverines are on a two-game ATS losing streak, 4-7 ATS on the season.

In other Week 14 college football opening lines at the sportsbooks, TCU is favored by 7.5 points over Texas, while UCLA is a 4.5-point favorite over Stanford, and Florida State is a 10-point favorite against the rival Florida Gators.
