Vanderbilt vs. Oklahoma Prediction

I’m with Oklahoma here. I just think this is a bit of a letdown spot for Vanderbilt after another big win, most recently over Kentucky. The last time Vandy got a big win at home, over Tennessee, and then went out on the road, they were crushed by Alabama. I’m not likening Oklahoma to Alabama here, but I just think that this is a tough road spot for the Commodores. Oklahoma’s back at home where they’ve been at their best this season, and I think the Sooners take care of business here. Give me Oklahoma in this one.
