Man, Vanderbilt is going to suck this year.

Departed coach James Franklin should get a ton of credit for going 18-8 over the past two seasons with the Commodores. Franklin turned Vandy into a big boy SEC football program. But now he's gone and it looks like this group is headed back to reality.

Vandy only has 10 starters back and they don't have a quarterback or returning starter at receiver. They only have four starters back on defense and the entire secondary is retooled. They are switching to a 3-4 defense and I expect things to be a bloody mess on both sides of the ball early in the season despite new coach Derek Mason's familiarity with the roster.

Vanderbilt has four home games to open the year. But two are against Ole Miss and South Carolina. Games against Temple, UMass, Charleston Southern and Old Dominion will give this team some pride. But whom else are they going to beat? The Commodores get Tennessee at home this year. And they head to Kentucky. But that's it. I don't see them winning at Georgia, Missouri or Mississippi State this year. And even if they did spring an upset they would have to avoid one in their other six "winnable" games.

This one is a no-brainer. Take Vanderbilt 'under' and prepare for plenty of five-win seasons in their future.
