No. 18 Kansas State at Vanderbilt (+4)
SportsLine game forecaster
Commodore D is filthy
Suddenly the offense is a weapon
'Dores get a big win
Very quietly, Vanderbilt has turned into a force. The defense has allowed just two third-down conversions in 26 attempts (7.69 percent) -- the best mark in the nation. They've allowed just two trips to the red zone in two games, and neither resulted in points -- not even a field goal. Good luck, Kansas State. Coach Derek Mason's stingy defense combined with a suddenly balanced offense under quarterback Kyle Shurmur (seven touchdowns, zero interceptions) makes the Commodores the easy play to not only cover, but win comfortably. Pick: Commodores (+3.5)
