OUR PICK: Many observers are expecting this game to be a defensive struggle, and it should be. But with the total sitting at 41, there’s still plenty of value in taking the over, which is 5-0 in the last five meetings between these two teams when Vanderbilt hosts the game, and is 5-1 in the last six meetings overall.
