Vanderbilt vs Texas A&M Prediction

Texas A&M has struggled the last couple of games, but this game will be very different. Vanderbilt on the road has not played well, and this won’t be the game that they won’t musically bounce back. Texas A&M is giving up only 66 points per game, and their defense will step up in a major way here. With the lack of any defensive output by Vanderbilt, Texas A&M is going to end up cruising here. Back Texas A&M to win and cover the spread. Vanderbilt won’t keep this game within 15 points.
