Pick
I’m backing the Commodores here. The Gators performed valiantly against Kentucky, but once again they fell short, and I think the struggles will continue here on the road without Colin Castleton. One player doesn’t make a whole team, but he’s the heart and soul of that Gators group and I just feel like the Commodores are in the perfect buy low spot after their loss to LSU. Give me Vandy here.
