Central Arkansas Bears vs. Vanderbilt Commodores Prediction

I’m on Vanderbilt here. It’s a huge line and Vandy has an in-state rivalry against Memphis on deck, but the thing is that the Commodores have shown no mercy against a lot of these inferior teams that they’ve gone up against this season and I honestly think that this game ends up being no different. The Commodores are loaded offensively as Mark Byington has himself a squad in Nashville and I think Vandy wins in another blowout here. Give me the Commodores here.
