LSU at Vanderbilt Preview & Picks

Vanderbilt are backed to bounce back from the loss to Alabama.

The dual threat of Diego Pavia will be an issue for LSU, while the defense can make some key stops and take the ball away from an LSU offense that has underwhelmed massively.

  • Vanderbilt are 5-1 this season
  • Vanderbilt are 4-1-0 ATS when shorter than a double digit favorite
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of LSU’s 6 games this season
  • The Under has hit in 4 of the previous 5 meetings

Head To Head

  • LSU lead the all-time series 25-7-1
  • LSU won 24-17 when the two teams last met in November 2024

LSU Form

LSU make the trip to Nashville looking to make it back-to-back wins in the SEC and improve their overall record to 6-1.

The Tigers kicked off the season in the best possible fashion as they went out on the road to take down Clemson, 17-10.

They backed that up with a 23-7 win over Louisiana Tech a week later, before downing Florida 20-10 in their opening conference matchup.

LSU then blew out Southeastern Louisiana, 56-10, only to see their perfect start end with a 24-19 upset defeat at Ole Miss a week later.

The Tigers bounced back after the bye week though, as they returned to winning ways with a 20-10 victory at home to South Carolina.

Vanderbilt Form

Vanderbilt return home looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season, which dropped them to 5-1.

The Commodores entered the new season looking to continue their resurgence under Clark Lea, and they raced out of the blocks by winning their first five games.

They opened with a 45-3 blowout of Charleston Southern, before heading out on the road to beat Virginia Tech 44-29 and blow out ranked South Carolina, 31-7.

That earned Vanderbilt a spot in AP’s rankings, and they maintained that spot with back-to-back home wins as they beat Georgia State 70-21 and Utah State 55-35.

The Commodores failed to make it six-in-a-row though, as they fell to a 30-14 defeat at Alabama last time out.

Verdict

Vanderbilt may have lost in Alabama, but this is still a team in the ascendancy.

LSU continue to falter offensively and make costly mistakes, so we are backing the Commodores to deal a blow to the playoff hopes of Brian Kelly and the Tigers.
