Tennessee at Vanderbilt picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 74, Vanderbilt 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with Tennessee (-550) heavily favored on the road, taking them straight up isn’t worth doing.

Against the spread

Assuming that G Jordan Wright suits up for the Commodores, VANDERBILT +10.5 (-120) is how I’d wager on the spread. The Commodores kept it within single digits in the last matchup against the Volunteers and that game was on the road.

Vanderbilt is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games following an ATS loss. The underdog is also 16-7-1 ATS in the last 24 meetings between these 2 SEC programs.

Over/Under

OVER 134.5 (-110) is the lean following a low-scoring game for Tennessee. Even though the Volunteers allow the fewest points per game (54.6) in the nation, the Commodores give up 72 points per game (251st in the nation).

Tennessee has gone Over in each of its last 6 games after scoring fewer than 50 points in its previous game. Vanderbilt is 5-1 to the Over in its last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Tennessee at Vanderbilt odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers (9-2, 5-2 SEC) meet the Vanderbilt Commodores (5-6, 2-5) Saturday at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports

The Volunteers tumbled to No. 10 in the College Football Playoff rankings with a stunning 63-38 loss at South Carolina last weekend. It was costly, too, as Heisman hopeful QB Hendon Hooker suffered a torn ACL and was lost for the remainder of the season.

Tennessee will turn to QB Joe Milton III to take over for Hooker. He has completed 69.7% of his pass attempts for 573 yards, 6 TDs and 0 INT, while running for 72 yards in limited action, but the former Michigan recruit is more than capable.

Vanderbilt stunned Florida last week in the Music City, positioning itself for bowl eligibility if it can run it back and pull a second consecutive upset. That’s pretty impressive for a team which had a total of 2.5 wins for its total in the futures market to begin the season.

The Commodores also have questions at quarterback, as Vandy has listed QBs AJ Swann and Mike Wright as co-starters, a little gamesmanship before the big game. Swann has been battling a nagging undisclosed injury for most of November.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 34, Vanderbilt 25

Moneyline

It might be tempting to take Vanderbilt (+390) for a chance to nearly quadruple your initial wager, especially with bowl eligibility on the line in a rivalry game.

However, Tennessee is still plenty explosive without Hooker under center. Milton is more than capable of leading this offense, and the Vols have the skill position players to take advantage of a Vandy squad allowing 34.2 PPG, which is 119th overall in the nation.

AVOID.

Against the spread

VANDERBILT +14 (-111) will not make it easy for Tennessee, and the Commodores’ offense has shown some signs of life in the second half of the season. How Vandy beat Florida last week, considering how the Gators looked in their rivalry game at Florida State Friday, is a mystery.

That’s the danger here, though. Tennessee should be able to win, but Vandy actually looks like an FBS-caliber team again after years of dread. Coach Clark Lea has the ‘Dores headed in the right direction.

Over/Under

Play UNDER 63.5 (-110), but it’s only worth a half-unit wager.

The Over is 13-4 in the past 17 games overall for Tennessee dating back to last season while cashing in 8 of its last 11 SEC games. The Over is also 7-0 in the past 7 games following a straight-up loss, while hitting in 5 of the past 7 head-to-head games with Vandy.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 for Vanderbilt, however, while going 4-1 in the past 5 conference tilts, too.

With some QB issues for both teams, expect the offenses perhaps to be slightly disjointed, at least to start.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt: Three things to know

The Volunteers are coming off a 70-55 loss at home against Kentucky last time out as 7.5-point favorites as the Under (137) connected. They’re a very ordinary 5-5 SU/3-7 ATS across the past 10 games since their 81-61 win Jan. 16 in the first meeting against Vandy.
The Commodores put up quite a fight against the first-place Alabama Crimson Tide last time out, falling 82-78 in Tuscaloosa as 14-point underdogs. The ‘Dores are 2-5 SU across their past seven, but they’re 5-0-2 ATS during the stretch.
The Vols have covered just three of the past 10, but they’re 14-6 ATS in the past 20 following a double-digit loss at home, and they’re 6-1 ATS in their past seven on the road against teams with a losing home record. And the Commodores are 1-5 ATS in the past six at home against teams with a winning road mark.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Tennessee 74, Vanderbilt 70

Money line (ML)

Tennessee (-375) will cost you three and three-quarters times your potential return, and that’s a risky bet these days. The Vols are playing .500 ball since mid-January, and they failed to win outright last time out against Kentucky with a similar line. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

VANDERBILT +7.5 (-105) has had their issues this season, and they haven’t done a lot of outright winning. But they are hot against the number lately, while the Vols have really struggled, covering just three times in 10 outings since Jan. 16. Yes, they did cover an 18-point number in Knoxville in the first meeting, but the Vols have really struggled since.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 141.5 (-110) has been the rule for the Commodores lately, going 6-1 in their past seven at home, and 11-3 in the previous 14 games overall. The Over is also 6-1 in the previous seven for Vandy against teams with a winning percentage over .600.

The Over is 4-1 in Tennessee’s past five following a straight-up loss, and 4-0 in the past four on the road against teams with a losing home record.
