Vanderbilt at Missouri

After two straight losing seasons, Vanderbilt is hungry for a Bowl and has a shot, at 4-5 with three games left. They've won two of the last three games, including a 17-16 win at Georgia as a +14 dog. They played well last week in a 23-16 loss at Auburn as a +23 dog. QB Kyle Shurmur is playing well, throwing for 221 yards against the ninth ranked team in the country. Vanderbilt's defense is outstanding, led by Zach Cunningham, who could win the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. The defense ranks #26 in points allowed (21.6 points per game). Vanderbilt is on a 19-6-2 run UNDER the total, as well as 54-23-1 UNDER in SEC play. Missouri has been banged up all year for first year coach Barry Odom, scoring 21 points or less in four of the last five. They are also winless in SEC play. The defense has been a mess for Missouri, which ranks #116 in total defense. Vandy's ground game will do well, chewing up yards and the clock with Missouri allowing 232.67 yards rushing per game. Missouri is on a 15-6 run UNDER the total, including 10-3 in SEC contests. All of which means the hungry visitors hold the key matchup edges in a low-scoring tilt. Play Vanderbilt and the UNDER.
