Vanderbilt vs Virginia Tech Prediction

In their only previous meeting last season, Vanderbilt won 34-27 at home in overtime, covering the spread, as the game went over the point total.  

In this Vanderbilt vs Virginia Tech Prediction, Virginia Tech is coming in as -1-point home favorites, with the total set at 47.5 points. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their season openers, but the Commodores had the weakest opposition. Vanderbilt still looked great, winning by 42 points and holding their opponents into just 3, while Virginia Tech struggled on the offensive end, with just 11 points. The Hokies were 4-3 at home last season and 6-6 ATS, while the Commodores were 2-3 on the road, but a strong 8-4 ATS. Vanderbilt won VT last season, and I like them today as well in an almost pickem price. Take the Vanderbilt Commodores to win on the road in this one.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Vanderbilt Commodores +0.5
