The Alabama A&M Bulldogs aren't a good team, and they've gotten blasted on the road this season. However, let's not act like because Vanderbilt has the talent edge and is at home that we can just throw out a massive number. Nearly every game with Vanderbilt comes down to the wire, and this club lacks offensive depth to pull away. Vanderbilt also isn't covering numbers. It's Alabama A&M and the points or pass for me.
