Virginia Tech vs Vanderbilt Prediction

The Virginia Tech Hokies have the talent edge and are at home, but their offense has fallen off a cliff lately, and it’s resulted in four straight losses, including a loss to Jacksonville as a double-digit favorite. The Vanderbilt Commodores are off to a fabulous start, and they passed their only test so far with an upset win over Nevada. It won’t be easy in Blacksburg, but Vanderbilt has done enough through 8 games to where you have to lean toward the points.
