The Rams are 11-27 ATS in their last 38 Wednesday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Commodores are 4-1-3 ATS in their last 8 home games and 10-2-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Rams last 5 overall. The over is 4-0 in Commodores last 4 home games.

The VCU Rams are showing serious offensive issues through their first two games due to a lack of consistent shooting and a lack of scoring depth. I was high on the Vanderbilt Commodores before the season started, as I mentioned in their first game write up, and they’re off to a terrific start with two wins and one cover. I’m going to keep siding with the Commodores. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk.
