When Kalen DeBoer was hired last January as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Of course, DeBoer was replacing the GOAT of college football coaching. Also, he was inheriting one of the most intense NCAA Football Betting rivalries. Now, Alabama will host the Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl. As bad as Auburn has played this season, a win over the Crimson Tide would absolve the entire program of all sins. Also, it would give them a bowl berth. And ruin whatever chance their hated rivals have for a College Football Playoff bid.
