Comments
The bad news is that both these teams are struggling mightily this season. The good news is that one of them will get an SEC win on Saturday. I give Mizzou the edge here because, while they have an awful defense, they have an above-average offense. Vandy is mediocre both on offense and defense. However, the Tigers better not sleep on Vandy. The ‘Dores nearly beat South Carolina in Columbia and would have had they continued playing the scheme that was working defensively.
