Pick

I’m backing Vanderbilt here. I just think this is a good buy low spot on a Commodores team that was humiliated by Alabama in their last game, up against an Ole Miss team that’s even underperforming against their already average expectations coming into this season. Vanderbilt hasn’t been half bad in a lot of spots and I think they could get it done here. Give me the Commodores.
