Vanderbilt Commodores vs Virginia Tech Hokies Point Spread Picks

Virginia Tech looks to bounce back from a 24-11 loss to South Carolina. QB Kyron Drones will need to improve on his performance against the Gamecocks, as he threw two costly interceptions and no touchdown passes. The game went UNDER by 16.5 points. Drones had a season-high 322 passing yards against Vanderbilt last season. The Commodores have gone UNDER seven of nine overall and five of six on natural grass. Vandy comes off a 45-3 rout of Charleston Southern, but the Commodores are 0-4 ATS their past four games after scoring at least 40 points their previous game. Also, they are 0-4 ATS after allowing fewer than 170 yards passing their previous game. The Hokies have won seven of their past 10 home games and they are in revenge after losing 34-27 in overtime in last year's season opener against the Commodores. Take Virginia Tech and the UNDER.

Virginia Tech has a loaded offense behind mobile quarterback Kyron Drones, who threw 17 TDs with only three interceptions last season while running for 818 yards. The wide receiving corps is deep behind Da'Quan Felton (17.6 yards per catch), Jaylin Lane, and Stephen Gosnell, plus Ali Jennings returns from a knee injury. Last season, the ground attack averaged 5.0 yards per carry and returns tailback Bhayshul Tuten (863 yards). The Hokies defense is very good, too, ranking fourth nationally in passing yards allowed (168.8 yards per game). They've covered five of their last six as a favorite. Vanderbilt is rebuilding after a 2-10 disaster. The only wins were against Hawaii and Alabama A&M. They faced one ACC team, Wake Forest, and lost, 36-20, giving up 484 yards (288 rushing). The ground game averaged just 3.3 yards per carry and the Commodores lost their top four wide receivers to the NCAA transfer portal. Play Virginia Tech to cover, and bet the UNDER as a Max Play.
