Auburn has managed to win by fighting back from huge deficits in a number of games.

"We tell them every week, there's storms that you're going to have to weather every game," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "We told them that going into the Alabama game there's going to be a storm in this game that could be pretty violent and we're going to have to weather that storm. They hear that and they understand that."

For Auburn, it’s not just a shot at the Southeastern Conference that’s on the line, the Tigers have a chance to play for the national title.  Those odds would pay out $18 for every $10 bet at Sportsbook.com as of right now.
