Memphis vs Vanderbilt Prediction
This is the best Vanderbilt team we’ve seen in recent memory and deserves to be a big favorite. Memphis has also had issues finishing games. So, you can understand why the line is what it is. However, Memphis has competed this season, and it’s led to covers in 7 of its last 9 games. Memphis has an upset win over Baylor, and it nearly beat Wake Forest and Ole Miss. despite having just one double-digit scorer, Memphis plays hard and finds ways to hang around. I don’t expect that effort to go away at home with an undefeated team coming to town. Give me the points with Memphis.
