New Haven vs Vanderbilt Prediction 

Vanderbilt rolls into this matchup looking to stay undefeated on the season and they just beat Wake Forest by 31 points. The Commodores are shooting 51% from the field and they have scored 83+ in four of their last five. New Haven has lost three in a row and they are just 1-5 on the road. The Chargers are shooting 44% from the field and they have scored 64 points or fewer in three straight. This is a huge number to cover for Vanderbilt, but I think it is a tough spot, as they are coming off of a long break and have SEC play up next. Take New Haven and the points here.
