“I’m rooting for the Tigers in this game. They’re the underdogs.”
The underdog or underdogs are the side of a game that seems likely to lose. If the teams or players are evenly matched, there is no underdog. If it’s logical to expect that a certain team or player will lose, they are the underdog.
It’s very exciting when the underdog wins, because the odds are against them. Many sports fans like to support underdogs.
