• Alabama -9.5 (-110)

Betting on the over in a Commodores game can be risky, Vanderbilt had the 112th-ranked total offense during the 2023 season. They finished 6-6 on over/unders — bets on the total amount of points scored in a game — so no matter which side you took, you came out roughly even.

Oddsmakers set the total at how many points they think will be scored, so it could be 47 for a game against Alabama, for example. If you took the under, a 24-21 final means your bet pays off no matter who wins the game. If you bet over, you’d need there to be at least 48 points scored between the two teams. Ties on the bet are possible, and they result in refunds.
