Vanderbilt vs Georgia State Prediction 

Vanderbilt comes into this matchup looking to start the season with three straight wins and they have looked very good offensively with Diego Pavia at quarterback. The Commodores picked up a great win against Virginia Tech to open the season and they are favored by double-digits here. Georgia State did get in the win column against Chattanooga, but it wasn’t pretty and they could have easily lost. I don’t see how Georgia State is going to slow down Pavia in this game and I think Vanderbilt is going to roll to another victory. Take the Commodores on the road.
