Prediction
Texas was humbled last week after playing a legitimate SEC defense but should get back on schedule this week against a Vanderbilt team that has been one of the biggest surprises this season. That said, a near three-touchdown spread could still be too much to handle for the Texas Longhorns.
Vanderbilt has played all of their SEC opponents tough this season, including a shock win against Alabama at home just a few weeks ago. Now they welcome the Longhorns to Nashville in another spot where they could turn some heads, seeing that Texas could still be licking their wounds after getting dominated by the Dawgs a week ago. Simply put, Texas should win this game as they are still one of the most talented teams in the country. That said, our best bet will be Vanderbilt to cover on the alternate spread of +21.5 to protect ourselves against a potential three-touchdown win for Texas.
Final Pick
Vanderbilt Commodores +21.5 Alternate Spread (-151)
