Vanderbilt Hopes to Build On Close Game Against Texas

The last time we saw the Vanderbilt Commodores, they came close to upsetting the Texas Longhorns at home. Vandy was in that game late, losing by just a field goal in that matchup. Against a team that is nowhere near as good as Texas, the Commodores will hope that they can continue to play at a high level to beat Auburn. Doing so would elevate Vandy to 6-3 overall for the season and 3-2 in conference play for the year. For that to happen, Diego Pavia has to make good decisions at the quarterback position for Vandy.

Auburn Looks For Second Straight SEC Win

Auburn got their first SEC win of the season in their last outing, beating the Kentucky Wildcats 24-10 on the road. Auburn's defense was stellar in that game, holding Kentucky to just 224 yards of total offense. Another game like that from the Auburn defense could be enough to help the Tigers move to 4-5 on the season and help to keep them on track as they look to keep their bowl eligibility hopes alive down the stretch in the regular season.

Vanderbilt vs Auburn Best Bet

Our best bet for Vanderbilt vs Auburn on Saturday is for the Vanderbilt Commodores to cover the spread as an underdog on the road. Vandy has an explosive offense that has the ability to keep up with elite opponents like Texas and Alabama. And while Auburn should be able to win this game at home, we will take the points with Vandy in this SEC showdown.
