Vanderbilt opens as 23-point underdog to Mississippi State

Coming off a near-miss at South Carolina, and coming back home to face a 3-3 team that just got blasted by 40 points by Alabama, you might think that Vegas would have a little more confidence in the Vanderbilt Commodores heading into the matchup.

You would, of course, be wrong. Vanderbilt has opened as a 23-point underdog for Saturday’s home game against Mississippi State.

The fun thing is, this is about a touchdown less generous than where Jeff Sagarin’s Predictor rating has it, viewing Vanderbilt as about a 16-point underdog since the game is in Nashville.
