As Saturday approaches, fans of college football are eagerly anticipating one of the most highly-anticipated annual matchups between Auburn and Alabama - the 90th edition of the Iron Bowl. The two teams first clashed on February 1893, when Auburn emerged victorious with a score of 32-22.
This year's matchup is set to take place at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama, where Alabama will face off against Auburn with a lead of 51-37-1 in the all-time series. The Crimson Tide has secured five consecutive victories in the rivalry, including last year's 28-14 win in Tuscaloosa. Their lone conference loss came at the hands of Oklahoma two weeks ago.
Auburn, on the other hand, finds itself at a crossroads with a current record of 5-6 and struggling to achieve bowl eligibility. Following the firing of head coach Hugh Freeze in early November, Auburn football hasn't seen a winning record since the 2020 campaign.
For those who missed the previous meetings between these two rival teams, here's what they know: Alabama has dominated the series, while Auburn is desperate for a victory this weekend to reach bowl eligibility.
The action will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, with play-by-play caller Chris Fowler joined by analyst Kirk Herbstreit and sideline reporter Holly Rowe. The odds suggest that Alabama is the clear favorite, sitting at 5.5 points ahead of Auburn in the latest betting odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.
CBS Sports experts have also weighed in, predicting a decisive victory for Alabama with eight out of nine experts picking the Crimson Tide to win this year's Iron Bowl. Meanwhile, the over/under for Saturday's matchup is currently set at 46.5 points.

but auburn's got some fight left in them 
i mean, they've been struggling but that's what makes it exciting, right? coach freeze might be out but maybe this is their chance to get back in the game 
the question is, can auburn stop alabama's winning streak? 
alabama's been on fire lately but auburn can't give up hope yet their coach change did mess with them but i think hugh freeze's replacement might just turn things around 
️ the thing is, jordan-hare stadium is gonna be electric this saturday and whoever wins is gonna feel like a champion 
. i'm watching the game this saturday but not expecting anything special from auburn 
. anyone got any thoughts on how auburn's gonna turn it around? 
... meanwhile, alabama is just coasting on their laurels, 8 out of 9 experts saying they're gonna win? come on guys... this should be a game that's way closer than what we're expecting 
. With a lead of 51-37-1, it's clear that Bryant-Denny Stadium's superiority plays a significant role in their success 
️. However, Auburn's struggles to achieve bowl eligibility are a pressing concern 
. Will they be able to pull off an upset, or will Alabama continue its streak? The odds suggest that it'll be a one-sided affair 
, but Auburn's desperation could lead to some surprising moments 
.
The energy at Jordan-Hare Stadium is gonna be electric, and it's gonna be fun to watch whoever comes out on top. Bring it on, Iron Bowl 2025! 
my cousin's friend is actually an auburn alum and he's been begging me to wear orange on saturday to show some team spirit...i might just do that tbh...anyway, i'm kinda surprised they're not more confident about auburn winning since they've had those losses this season...i mean, alabama's always been super tough to beat but still 
. Jordan-Hare Stadium always brings out the energy in Auburn, so I hope that gives them an edge 
Alabama has been on fire lately and it's gonna take more than just desperation to beat them. 51-37-1 in their all-time series says it all, but Auburn still gotta give it a shot 
. Alabama's dominance in this series has gotten old, but that being said, they've got some serious firepower on offense right now. Auburn needs to find a way to contain Tua for once and maybe, just maybe, they can put up a fight 
. It's like, if they can beat the no. 1 team in the SEC, that'll be huge for their season. And let's be real, Alabama's been on a roll, but that doesn't mean Auburn can't come out and surprise them
