Auburn Tigers CFB Week 14 Betting Lines
It has been a bitterly disappointing season for head coach Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. Freeze, now in his second season, is not moving the needle after being expected to take advantage of the retirement of Alabama Crimson Tide legend Nick Saban. This week, Freeze will lead his team on the road to face the Crimson Tide. It Iron Bowl is one of the greatest rivalries in sports. But Alabama is a decided favorite to blow War Eagle off the field. But last week’s results may eventually change the perceptions of both teams.

The Tigers shot out of the gate, putting the ball in the endzone in their first three possessions to jump out to a 21-0 lead. Jarquez Hunter punched in the first one from the two-yard line, and Payton Thorne connected with Cam Coleman for the second two, one from 63 yards out and the other from 15.
Thorne finished the game 19-of-31 through the air for 301 yards and two touchdowns, a solid performance despite his interception-free stretch coming to an end.
On the other sideline, Texas A&M stumbled to start the game. Randy Bond missed a 53-yard field goal attempt on the Aggies’ first drive, and Marcel Reed threw a pass that Auburn’s Jerrin Thompson intercepted on their second.
Texas A&M figured things out on its third possession; however, scoring a touchdown led to 21 unanswered points being put on the board, seemingly shifting all the momentum the Aggies’ way.
Auburn would answer back a few drives later. Thorne connected with KeAndre Lambert-Smith for a 44-yard gain that set the Tigers up with a first-and-goal opportunity. Hunter ran for his second touchdown of the night four plays later to put Auburn back in front.
The Tigers’ first possession of the fourth quarter saw Thorne throw an interception, setting Texas A&M up at Auburn’s 15-yard line. The Tigers’ defense held Texas A&M to a field goal, helping them avoid total disaster.

The Auburn Tigers made more news in the offseason than in the 2021 campaign. After a hot start, new head coach Bryan Harsin saw his team fade down the stretch to finish 6-7. Worst of all, clock mismanagement cost War Eagle a win in the Iron Bowl against Alabama. That led to a poor recruiting class, at least by Auburn and SEC standards.
Auburn has long been known for its meddlesome boosters. And in spring 2022, those big money donors had a bellyful of Harsin. While Harsin was out of the country on vacation, the Auburn boosters circulated stories on social media that he was having an affair with a young female staffer. They even circulated pictures of the woman. It was all fabricated. But Harsin did not make it to the end of 2022.
Now Hugh Freeze, who was fired at Ole Miss for contacting hookers on his burner phone while thumping his Bible on Twitter, is in his second season. To his credit, Freeze is a highly regarded football mind and strong recruiter.
Despite a strong and proud football history, the Auburn Tigers have always played in the state's shadow of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Auburn has two claimed and four unclaimed national championships. The Tigers have won the SEC championship 16 times. They have boasted three Heisman Trophy winners and 31 consensus All-Americans.
Head coaches Ralph Jordan and Pat Dye are Auburn legends. Jordan won a national championship, as did Gene Chizik. Tommy Tuberville and Gus Malzahn are other Auburn coaches that found success on the Plains.
Cam Newton, Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson, and Terry Beasley are among the legendary Auburn players that have worn the blue and orange.
