LSU at Vanderbilt

The Commodores are out to a 7-2 start in SEC play and are looking like a championship-caliber team, but not so fast. Their last three out of four games have been less than stellar performances with a pair of losses and a 3-point win. They are off a huge emotional game vs. Tennessee who they beat handily. Now with lowly LSU coming in, it’s time for a breather. The Tigers are in off a pair of stinkers where they were blown out playing their worst two games of the season, causing a spike in the line, so I would expect a much better effort here. Four of the SEC losses have come by 10 points or less, so the last two aren't the norm, but have boosted the number here. The Commodores are not playing up to their level against lousy teams at just 3-7 ATS vs. .400 teams or worse. The numbers say LSU here.
