Randy’s Pick
The Vanderbilt Commodores are not only piling up losses left and right but they’re 1-10 ATS on the season. Vanderbilt has no betting value to anyone other than when fading. No matter what you think of the Tennessee Volunteers, backing Vanderbilt simply isn’t an option. So, it’s the Vols or pass for me. No other choice in this game. Vanderbilt has been coutning the days until the offseason for quite some time. That time is finally here.
