South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt Prediction:

Take the Commodores to cover the 6.5 points at home on Saturday. I’ve been burnt by this Vanderbilt team too many times this season and I won’t do it again. They are 7-2 ATS this season and 4-1 ATS at home. They have won 4 of their 5 home games with the one loss being to Texas by 3. South Carolina is playing well with two straight wins and they are very good against the run but these are the games that Vanderbilt lives for. Give me the Commodores and the points at home.   

South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt Prediction: Vandy +6.5
