Last week, the Auburn Tigers were the best team that no one was talking about. Well, now people are talking about them.
Auburn opened as a one-point underdog against Ole Miss last week, though the spread eventually moved to favor Auburn by four. This week, Auburn opened as a 25-point favorite over the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Ask any Auburn fan, player or coach if they’d rather be the favorite or the underdog, and every single one of them will tell you they want to be underdog. Auburn loves the “us against the world” mentality. A perfect example is the 2013 season.
