The Kentucky Wildcats are due for a bounce back performance after three straight losses, and they’ve still covered four of their last five games as a favorite. The Vanderbilt Commodores don’t win, don’t cover numbers, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. There’s really only one way for me to go in this spot, and that’s to lay the chalk with Kentucky on the road. Vanderbilt has provided little to no betting value for years.
