Kansas State at Vanderbilt

This is a non-conference game featuring a pair of run-oriented teams with strong defenses. Kansas State is outstanding on defense for the second straight year, allowing 26 points in two contests. Kansas State runs a ball-control offense that chews up the clock and they face a talented Vanderbilt defense that returns seven starters to a unit that was tops in the nation in 2016 in red-zone defense. Vanderbilt is on a 20-7-2 run UNDER the total, as well as 34-16 UNDER in September games. Vandy is 2-0 this season allowing just six points in two games against Middle Tennessee and Alabama A&M. The Commodores are also 11-5-1 UNDER on fieldturf. Look for a fierce defensive duel with few TDs and scoring opportunities. Play the UNDER.
