Vanderbilt at Tennessee

Vanderbilt junior QB Kyle Shurmur (22 TDs, 10 INTs) has had a fine season and in his four road games he has 12 TDs, and two picks. Vandy is 29-15 ATS on the road after two or more consecutive defeats, plus 30-11 ATS away after failing to cover the spread in two out of their last three contests. They head to rival Tennessee, a team that had big expectations this season but has flopped, winding up a lost campaign. They've been overvalued at home, 1-5 ATS here, have an interim coach and are winless in the SEC. The offense has all kinds of problems. They have a makeshift offensive line that finished the last game with just four scholarship players. Interim coach Brady Hoke has a dilemma at quarterback: He can go with redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano, who played last week on an injured ankle and tends to hold the ball too long. Or he can go with true freshman Will McBride, who has played exactly 1 1/2 games of collegiate ball. And McBride only recently returned from concussion protocol after missing last week. Tennessee is 6-18 ATS at home after two consecutive games where they forced one or fewer turnovers. The underdog is 7-3 ATS when these rivals clash, with the Commodores covering four of the last five meetings, so back the dog again with the superior edge at quarterback. Play Vanderbilt.
