This game features Vanderbilt hosting Charleston Southern, an FCS opponent, which creates a challenging betting situation regardless of the 37.5-point spread. While Vanderbilt should easily win this game given the talent gap between SEC and FCS programs, these massive spreads are notoriously difficult to predict because they depend heavily on factors like how long the home team keeps their starters in and whether they're focused on running up the score. Charleston Southern comes from a lower division and lacks the depth and talent to compete with an SEC program, but sometimes these huge spreads can be hard to cover if the favored team gets conservative in the second half. The 37.5-point line suggests oddsmakers expect a blowout, but with such a large number, even a comfortable Vanderbilt win might not be enough to cover if they pull their starters early. Given the unpredictable nature of these lopsided matchups and the lack of comparable competition data, this is a game better watched than bet.
