Memphis vs Vanderbilt Prediction
In this Memphis vs Vanderbilt Prediction, Vanderbilt is coming as -16.5 home favorites. Both teams have been undefeated this season and both have covered the spread in each of their two games. But the Commodores have been playing elite defense, ranking 7th in the entire country in points allowed and have a +34.5 point differential. On the flip side, Memphis almost falls below the top-300 defensively and allows 33 points per game more than Vanderbilt and that will be a major issue on the road. The Tigers also did not shoot the ball particularly well from the field, with just 45.9%, so I will side with the home team in this matchup. Take Vanderbilt and lay the points at home.
