Northern Illinois vs. Vanderbilt betting preview: Trying to stay undefeated with a play on the under

Northern Illinois football team is coming off its first loss of the season. They lost to Tulsa 38-35 last week. The Commodores are 2-1 after a 45-22 loss to Wake Forest last weekend. This is Vanderbilt's final game before SEC play. Caesars Sportsbook has Northern Illinois as a 2.5-point favorite over Vanderbilt. The game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT at Huskie Stadium. Both teams are expected to rely on the ground game. I'm going to bet the under. It worked in the first two games.
