Georgia Tech is favored, although the ACC is fourth in college football power rankings. At the same time, the SEC is No. 1. Georgia Tech is undefeated at home but has lost four of its five road games as they head to Birmingham, Alabama. The Yellow Jackets have lost two tight ends to injuries while top wide receiver Eric Singleton, Jr. (754 yards) opted out, signing with Auburn. They got crushed when stepping up to face Notre Dame (31-13) and Louisville (31-19), plus they had that eight-overtime loss to Georgia of the SEC. The defense allowed 385 yards (168 rushing) at home to the Irish. Vanderbilt has its best players for this bowl game around dual-threat quarterback Diego Pavia (17 TDs, 4 INTs). Vandy beat Auburn (17-7) as a +8 underdog, lost to Texas just 27-24 as a +17 dog, won at Kentucky (20-13) as a +12.5 dog, upset Alabama (40-35) as a +23.5 dog, beat Virginia Tech (34-27) as a +13.5 dog, and lost 30-27 at Missouri as a +17.5 underdog. Play Vanderbilt on the moneyline.

Vanderbilt at Georgia Tech
12:30 PM Eastern
A pair of run-oriented offenses clash, which chews up yards and keeps the clock moving. Georgia Tech QB Justin Thomas has no TD passes this season, despite a 2-0 start. The team, though, has 482 yards rushing while the defense has been strong allowing 14 and 10 points. The Yellow Jackets' ground game has not looked particularly sharp up front so far in 2016, averaging just 3.38 yards per rush before contact. Georgia Tech is 8-3 UNDER the total after a victory. They face a terrible Vanderbilt offense that lost 13-10 to South Carolina in the opener, getting 73 yards in the air on 8-of-23 passing. QB Kyle Shurmer is completing 46% of his passes. This is the first road game for Vandy, and Coach Derek Mason is very good at building strong defenses, allowing 18.5 points per game. The star of the group is linebacker Zach Cunningham, who is among the SEC leaders with 22 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss through the first two games. LB Oren Burks has been outstanding, too, with 10 tackles, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble, and four pass breakups. Vanderbilt is on an 18-7-1 run UNDER the total, including a 7-1 run UNDER on the road. Play this game UNDER the total.
