SEC Network host makes early Iron Bowl pick that Nick Saban will love
By Keith Farner

Peter Burns filled in for Paul Finebaum on The Paul Finebaum Show on Thursday and didn’t waste any time making an Iron Bowl pick more than a week before kickoff.
Burns said Auburn would win primarily because of the location of the game — Auburn.
Now whether it was a ploy to fire up the callers on the Finebaum show, or if Burns truly believes it, is something we may have to follow as the show unfolds.
To do what Burns’ predicts, and snap Alabama’s three-game winning streak in the series, Auburn will probably need more than the four plays the Tigers ran inside the Alabama 20 during last year’s 30-12 result.
Auburn’s looking for its fourth win in the Iron Bowl since Nick Saban arrived at Alabama in 2007.
In the mean time, both teams will be somewhat busy this week, as Alabama will play host to Mercer, while Auburn will face Louisiana-Monroe.
