LSU vs Vanderbilt Prediction

I’m going to back Vanderbilt here. I liked this line a lot better when Vandy opened as an underdog, but I think everyone’s seeing what I see with Vandy that this is a really good team under Mark Byington. LSU’s a solid team as well, and you can see the positive direction that Matt McMahon has this team going in, but Vandy has been so good at taking care of the rock as well as forcing turnovers that I think that the Commodores do enough to grab the win on the road here. Give me Vanderbilt.
