Mississippi State at Vanderbilt picks and predictions
Prediction
Vanderbilt 78, Mississippi State 75
Moneyline
BET VANDERBILT (+125).
The Commodores are surging and have covered 6 of 7 games with a single-digit spread. They are 1-0 straight up as underdogs as well. Vanderbilt has yet to lose at home and is 2-0 with a spread of 3.5 points or fewer.
Mississippi State’s top 2 weapons (G Claudell Harris Jr. and G Josh Hubbard) each shoot under 44% from the field, so it may struggle to keep pace offensively.
Take VANDERBILT (+125) to pull off the home upset.
Against the spread
PASS.
The spread is certainly playable; however, getting plus money on the ML is preferred.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 154.5 (-110).
The Commodores are 0-3 O/U in their last 3 games and 2-5 O/U in their previous 7. They are 6-7-1 O/U on the season.
The Bulldogs have allowed 73 or fewer points in 5 straight games, going 1-4 O/U. Mississippi State is 3-4 O/U away from home this season. Take UNDER 154.5 (-110).
