Bet the Mortgage: Iron Bowl Edition

In the state of Alabama, this is the state championship. To some, it’s the clash of the two biggest teams in the state. In the bettor’s world, it’s a fool’s gambit. Auburn is an 11.5-point dog traveling to Alabama. This is heresy. I don’t care if Auburn started me on Saturday, that’s too many. This game is used as an example of the records don’t mean anything.

Auburn enters the game on a bit of a heater, 3-1 over the last 4 SEC games. Don’t forget the upset that “War Damn Eagle” posted against the Texas A&M. Aggies. These are the same Texas A&M Aggies that will punch their ticket to Atlanta if they handle their business against the University of Texas Longhorns. Auburn has had a crazy season thus far, but in an Iron Bowl situation, I love the Tigers with the points.

I have never been a Hugh Freeze fan. I’m a buttoned-up guy. I like buttoned-up coaches and brother, Freeze ain’t one. Curt Cignetti got quasi-famous for stating, “Google me.” If you want some cringe, google Hugh Freeze.

I lived in Alabama for around 20 years, and if I thought I had seen the literal depths of the barrel for Auburn to sink to, I would be shocked they hired this guy. That being said, I think ‘Bama is overrated and I think Auburn is rounding into form. Bet the mortgage, and thank me on Monday. Auburn is famous for doing like two things: Buying out coaches and all of a sudden performing in the Iron Bowl.

I can’t wait to watch them both coincide on Saturday. Way too many given points and don’t be surprised if Auburn wins outright. This will be a nail-biter late, and Freeze coached a game from a vertical hospital bed. Remember when I said to google his coaching story?
