Texas vs Vanderbilt Prediction
Right when it looked like Texas was dead, it responded with a strong road win over Alabama. Maybe that’s the turning point for this group. However, it’s going to take more than one performance to get me on board. Texas hasn’t been good this season. Vanderbilt is an above average team on both sides of the ball and is also 10-6 ATS on the season to go with an undefeated record. I’m just not excited to step in front of Vanderbilt. Texas has to prove it to me again to get my attention. I’ll lay the reasonable number with Vanderbilt on the road.
