Point Spread Pick for LSU vs. Vanderbilt

  • Vanderbilt Commodores to cover. (4 Units)

The Commodores have the edge in this game because they have one of the best offenses in the country, and they play better at home, where they score more than 96 points per game while making over 51 percent of their shots. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 10 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball, turning it over less than 10 times per game, so don’t expect them to give up many easy-scoring chances. The Tigers aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up at least 75 points in their last two games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Commodores. Take Vanderbilt to cover the spread.

Over/Under Pick for LSU vs. Vanderbilt

  • Over (4 Units)

The Tigers average 86.5 points per game. They play at the 160th-fastest pace in the nation, averaging 72 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 72 points per game. The Commodores average 93.6 points per game. They play at the 25th-fastest pace in the nation, averaging 76.4 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 71.7 points per game.
