Premium Pick

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.
