^they put out and executed a hit on the MSU QB... that looked to be one uncomfortable injury, no?  turns out, that position is pretty important for driving that O.

Or any O, really. 

Except for the patented Les Miles LSU offense, where the QB just hands off 100% of the time.

If both these teams played like they've been playing, I'd take Auburn, and maybe even comfortably.  But it comes down to who I trust when picking with my gut, and I trust Alabama to cure their ills more than I trust Auburn to put their foot on a throat. 

I take Bama in an upset (upset, bc I favor AU in practical analysis).

Bama is never the underdog, and if they are, then they shouldn't be.  I don't care how many hurt LBs they have.  Starting 2 years ago, the last 3 Bama squads have been the most talented 75-scolly football rosters in history.  

There's never any reason to pick against them (knowing they won't win every game).

Talent is the bulk of the equation, and all else being equal, I would agree.  All else is not equal, and Auburn is not as far behind Bama in talent as their record the last few years would make one think.  
Auburn has clicked, their qb has come through.  Coupled with talent, that's what it takes to beat the Gumps.  But it hasn't even been normal days for the Gumps.  They've beaten up crappy teams and struggled more than normal with teams with a pulse.  Again, if they both play like they have been, AU has been the better team...as much as I want to throw up saying anything good about AU.  
That said, I'll reiterate I'm picking Bama bc my instict is to expect AU to implode under pressure and to expect Bama to pull something out of their ass.  Winning is a habit and an attitude, and whatever problems Bama has, they have the right habits and attitude.  
We'll see in an hour, I guess.

i've long said, to the point of preaching on the old site, that this game is about cohesion. 

bama has the ponies there is no doubt, and saban has obvious talent making them play cohesively... 

it appears to me that auburn is playing cohesively, too.  they're banging on all eight cylinders. they also have ponies... their starting 11 on either side is in the same class as bama's... they 'should' be able to play against those boys.  their issue is going to be attrition... if they can break bama's comfort zone of play- which is fundamental football and that 'bama lean', and do so by attacking where bama is weak(er)- which is just beyond the defensive line- they can win this game... they'll have to stretch to the corners because that line is still the madness it's always been, but the capacity to keep bama guessing with the option-keeper, the short pass, and the outside run- all the while drawing man to man on flag routes and using it- they can work bama to the point 5~7 yards across the center is open most every play.

Kick coverage for Auburn has become scary; however, it is similar to UAT's field goal kicking. In a close game, Auburn has a BIG advantage when it comes to getting FGs. All that said, Auburn MUST get 6s and not 3s when given the opportunity. Auburn needs to jump on UAT early and often and force Hurts to win the game with his arm with passes to someone other than Ridley.....
I do believe I nailed Auburn's game plan. The DL, for the most part, laid back to allow Hurts to throw the ball and double covered Ridley. Also, UAT's FG team helped with the muffed attempt.

au just beat us. controlled both lines. and bama's game plan was awful. kept going for big play when we had success running a methodical offense.

bottom line is au had a good plan and executed very well. bama was right opposite. don't feel cheated or robbed, just beat.

good win.

Nice post, rtf. Auburn is just a better team right now, period. In almost every phase.
