Can you believe it? It’s already time for the 2019 Iron Bowl. The Alabama Crimson Tide. The Auburn Tigers. In my book, there’s no rivalry more heated, there’s no rivalry more personal, and there’s no rivalry that’s better in all of college football. You can keep your Michigan-Ohio State. I’ll take Alabama-Auburn eight days a week. Seeing as how we are the official unofficial kings of the drinking game (trademark pending), I figured it was our responsibility to the great fan bases on both sides of this rivalry to bring back the Iron Bowl drinking game for 2019.
To say this year’s game is huge would be an understatement. It’s practically Alabama’s season. If they win, and a few dominoes fall their way, they could find themselves back in the College Football Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. They’ll be without stud quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, but this offense is a lot more than its (albeit once-in-a-generation) quarterback. There’s a wealth of NFL talent in the receiving corps. But, oh how the Tigers and that elite defense love to spoil the season for the Tide! This one’s going to be good.
The game kicks off at 2:30PM CST on Saturday, LIVE from Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. The Tide is currently a 3.5-point favorite, with an over/under set at 50 points. LFG.
