After a tough home loss against South Carolina to start the season Vandy bounced back against Middle Tennessee. For a program like this, they really have to win the games they are supposed.
MTU sure but even though the Gamecocks are down that game was essentially a coin toss so they shouldn’t beat themselves up. This one against the ACC would turn some heads if they won.

Georgia Tech also started their season with a conference game, a win over Boston College in Ireland.
Last week they were tuning up against Mercer and they have to be careful not to be looking ahead to next week against Clemson, who they play on a short week.
They should win at home but Vandy could stun them if they are not focused.
Vanderbilt Commodores
Vandy’s loss to SC was a classic grinder. Last week they beat Middle Tennessee by 23 points but they were actually significantly outgained in the contest.
Some of that is catch up yards but it is supposed to be the other way around when the SEC takes on Conference USA.
Getting the win was key but this team can play better or else there are going to be some very lopsided games when they return to SEC action.

RB Ralph Webb is definitely underappreciated nationally but he ran for 1000 yards in the SEC last season. He had a monster day against MTU with 211 yards and is currently fourth in the nation.
QB Kyle Shurmur has to be better if the Commodores are going to have a chance because odds are he will not have that kind of success against GT. Shurmur was terrible against South Carolina.
Even an average performance and they probably win that one.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
You can throw out the Mercer game because the only point there was getting back into the routine upon returning from Ireland and getting the win and moving on.
Georgia Tech was not all that great in the win over Boston College but it was a rainy day and truthfully, the Eagles are one of the best defensive teams in America.
With those two results all we have to gauge from I am not sure where this GT team is going to be this year.

GT probably did not deserve to win against BC but they won the turnover battle and had fewer penalties.
That might be all it takes to beat Vanderbilt too.
I do expect that they are able to get their running game on track against a Vandy defense that is not nearly as good.
Justin Thomas has looked alright throwing the ball but it is the running game that will determine how this team does.

Free Week 3 NCAA Football Prediction
Quite simply this is a game the Yellow Jackets have to take. I think the markets are a little down on them at this point and rightfully so after last season and a slow start this season.
I would have made this 10 so this is good value.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Georgia Tech -6.5
GT does not have to be at their best to get this victory and cover.
They just have to get their ground game going and let it roll. Once Vandy is down they will find it hard to keep pounding away, opening up things for Tech to keep extending their lead as the game progresses.
It will be methodical.
