Pick: Vanderbilt Commodores +10.5

The Vanderbilt Commodores have really struggled under 1st-year coach Jerry Stackhouse as they are 1-14 in SEC games, but they have a chance to get another conference win against an Ole Miss team that has dropped 4 consecutive games. Vanderbilt took a big hit when they lost Aaron Nesmith as he was the leading scorer with 23 PPG, but they still have some talented scorers on the roster with Saben Lee (17.8 PPG) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (11.5 PPG). The Ole Miss Rebels have one of the top scorers in the SEC with Breein Tyree as he is averaging 20.4 PPG, but they have struggled to score as a team as they rank 11th in the conference in scoring (67.6 PPG). Vanderbilt has really struggled on the defensive side of the court this season as they are allowing an average of 75.3 PPG in SEC games, but they should find enough scoring between Lee and Pippen Jr. to keep this game within the number.

Final Score Prediction: Ole Miss Rebels win but fail to cover ATS 73-68
