The Vanderbilt Commodores (2-8, 0-6 SEC) visit the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels (8-2, 4-2) Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Commodores have dropped five in a row, and bowl eligibility waved good-bye long ago. But Vandy isn’t quitting, and it has covered three of the past four outings while the Under has hit in three of the previous four.
The Rebels topped Texas A&M last weekend, 29-19, and it has now won five of the past six while going 4-1 ATS in the previous five contests. The Under is a perfect 5-for-5 dating back to its last Over result Oct. 9.

Vanderbilt at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Ole Miss 51, Vanderbilt 12
Money line
Ole Miss (-10000) will cost you $100 for every $1 won. That’s ridiculous.
AVOID, and look to the line.
Against the spread
OLE MISS -35.5 (-108) should be able to roll up huge totals against Vandy +35.5 (-112) in this lopsided matchup. The Rebels have covered four of the previous five games overall.
While the Commodores have played hard in recent weeks, they’re going to struggle containing the high-octane offense of the Rebels.
Over/Under
The UNDER 65.5 (-110) is the play here. This isn’t going to be a defensive slog, but it isn’t going Over, either. Vandy has a terrible offense, and it’s not going to be able to muster much against Ole Miss in a difficult place to play.
The Rebels have actually stepped up the defense lately, allowing a respectable 20.3 points per game across the past four. The Under is 5-0 in the previous five for Ole Miss, and 4-1 in the past five for Vandy. Look for more of the same.
