The under is 8-3 in Volunteers last 11 overall. The over is 4-1 in Commodores last 5 games following a ATS win. The road team is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

The Tennessee Volunteers are going to get the benefit of the doubt based on talent, but they’ve looked rough in their last three road games and their offense isn’t getting it done as of late. The Vanderbilt Commodores are a hit or miss bunch, but they compete in every game, have one of the better players in the conference, and they can defend a bit. Vandy isn’t getting a lot of respect in this spot at home. I kind of like the home dog here.
