Marc’s SEE YA LATER, ALLIGATOR article on Page 2 tells us all we
need to know about this SEC bloodbath. As always, though, we have
plenty more ammo where that came from. For starters, since 1980 these
two have hooked up eight times at Jordan-Hare Stadium and the hosts
have come away with wins in six of them, including the last three in a
row. Before this season, the Tide have been favored only once at this
venue – a meager 3.5-point choice back in 1999 and now are being
asked to lay doubles. And speaking of doubles, the Tigers have made
their mark as double-digit conference dogs, producing a strong 4-1 ATS
record. They’ve also delivered the cash in three of their four weekday
home games. We know all about ‘Bama’s 36-0 thrashing of the Tigers
last season as it forced the so-called ‘voluntary’ resignation of longtime
HC Tommy Tuberville. Aubbie’s 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS effort off a shutout
loss since 1977 says payback is in order. Here’s one more thought for the
‘Nicktator’ to ponder: the Tigers are 15-4 SU and ATS versus undefeated
SEC opposition. The Tide’s last win in Auburn? We don’t need Bill Haley
and his Comets to tell us it’s been a while, crocodile. Their 2-5 ATS log in
‘Last Road Games’ says it’ll be a bit longer. It’s a take.
