Will update with trends once they're released.
The Vanderbilt Commodores aren't playing good basketball entering this contest and lose on the road by an average of 12 points, but they are 4-2 ATS as a double-digit underdog. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are winning games and have covered seven of 12 at home, but they're coming off a rough shooting performance and have played subpar basketball overall the last couple of weeks. This line feels a little too big. I'll take my chances with Vandy and the truckload of free points.
Randy’s Pick Vanderbilt Commodores +16
