Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt Prediction
Can Vanderbilt cover as a home underdog versus Kentucky at 7:00PM ET tonight when the two SEC rivals clash in Nashville?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Commodores are 11.5-point underdogs versus the Wildcats after opening as an 11-point dog. The total, meanwhile, is sitting at 158 after opening at that same number.
