We have a ton of line value in this one I think on the under with two underperforming offenses who like to run the ball and rank among the slowest paced offenses in the country. These teams play even more vanilla in conference play especially this year, but Kentucky 121st in pace compared to Vanderbilt who is 100th in pace. Both like to run the ball 56% of the time so we are looking at limited possessions for two very bad offenses that havenât scored more than 17 points in 5 conference games combined. Actually Vanderbilt is under the total 51-23-1 in their last 75 conference games, but this is a high total because of the high scoring games these two teams have played in non-conference action. Vanderbilt 61 vs. Western Kentucky, 71 vs. MTSU and Kentucky 104 vs. New Mexico State, and 69 vs. Southern Miss. Three of those 4 teams are in the top 40 in pace, and the team thatâs not is Western Kentucky who loves to throw the ball a ton. Actually 3 of those 4 teams were in the top 25 in passing play %. Thatâs not the fact here with Kentucky 61.83% run, Vanderbilt 56%, and they are two of the slowest teams in pace as we mentioned. Also conference game here both coaches need a win to get off the hot seat so I donât see them doing anything crazy in this game.
