Bruce Marshall suggests taking Vanderbilt (+10.5) to cover at home against Alabama and anticipates the Over (55.5) will also be a strong bet.

Background on the Teams

Alabama had a shaky start to the season, but has recovered with three consecutive wins, including a close fight against Georgia. Vanderbilt has impressively won all five of its games, showcasing a powerful offense led by transfer quarterback Diego Pavia, who has amassed impressive stats with 1,211 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and two rushing touchdowns.

“The Commodores upset the Tide last year and are on a roll,” Marshall commented. Their recent performance and history against Alabama make them a team to watch.
