Model called it
The model favored VAN to win, and the call landed.
Vanderbilt's looking at a 99 percent win probability here, and look, this one's got blowout written all over it. The Commodores have got the Vegas market lined up behind them at 28 and a half, they've got the Elo rating advantage, and Austin Peay's just trying to stay respectable in what figures to be a mismatch. The betting market, Vegas, and the recent form all point the same direction, and that direction is Vandy laying the wood.
