College Basketball Betting Trends

Mississippi State

The Bulldogs are 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 road games but 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight SEC games.

Vanderbilt

The Commodores are 1-4 against the spread in their last five SEC games and 8-19 ATS in their last 27 home games.

Prediction:

Mississippi State doesn’t have a great SEC history but the Bulldogs are 17-6-3 ATS in their last 26 meetings with Vanderbilt and 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight trips to Vandy. The Commodores have struggled to compete in three of their four conference games and I think they will struggle with the Mississippi State offense today.

College Basketball Prediction: Mississippi State -3
