Tennessee at Vanderbilt: Three things to know
- Tennessee holds a 76-33-5 lead in the all-time series against Vanderbilt, including a 28-10 win over the Commodores last season at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. Vandy won the previous three in the series, however.
- The Commodores saw PK Sarah Fuller kick off in its last game against Missouri, and she became the first female to participate in an FBS game for a Power 5 conference school. Vandy was blanked 41-0, so she didn’t get to attempt a point-after try or field goal, but the soccer goalkeeper’s chance at more history could come in this one.
- Tennessee has had a power outage on offense lately, going for 73 total points over its past five games. The Volunteers averaged 29.0 PPG in their first three outings, including 66 total points in their first two games, for their only wins of the season.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Tennessee 23, Vanderbilt 12
Money line (ML)
Tennessee (-835) put up a decent effort last week in a 31-19 loss against Florida, but not enough to risk more than eight times your potential return.
Remember, while Vanderbilt is winless, the Vols are on a six-game losing skid themselves. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
VANDERBILT +16 (-110) is the lean in this one on its home field, as the Commodores look to avoid the dreaded goose egg for the season. They’re going to take that L, but Tennessee has struggled offensively, and this will be an ugly game, as you would expect between two teams with a combined record of 2-14.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 49.5 (-110) is the slam-dunk play of the afternoon. Tennessee hasn’t scored more than 20 points since Oct. 10 in Georgia, and Vanderbilt hasn’t scored period since Nov. 21, getting blanked last time out. Vandy is averaging just 14.5 PPG overall, good for 125th in the nation. Its offensive highlight will be Fuller getting on the board and making history.
