2 Top Georgia Tech vs Vanderbilt Picks

1. Georgia Tech ATS -2½ (-115)

The Yellow Jackets come off a heartbreaking loss to Georgia, but that loss should give them plenty of confidence to beat Vanderbilt.

The eight-overtime loss (44-42) to their bitter rival was tough to stomach for the Yellow Jackets. Despite letting one slip against one of the best teams in the nation, knowing they can compete at that level should do them some good.

“There’s no moral victories,” Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said, fighting back tears. “But I’m proud of those guys.”

They will be tough to beat on Friday, and there aren’t many factors going against them if you’re betting online. Georgia Tech faces a Commodores team down on confidence after losing three on the bounce, so they’re there for the taking.

They lost to South Carolina, LSU, and Tennessee, so it wasn’t an easy schedule for the Commodores, but ending the year 6-6 didn’t seem likely after hitting 6-3 at one stage and knocking off Alabama.

Looking to take advantage is Georgia Tech, which defeated Miami and North Carolina State before losing to Georgia. The win over the Hurricanes shapes up nicely, and we’re not surprised to see the -2½ line firm to -115.

We’re happy to include Georgia Tech -2½ in our best NCAA football parlay picks. We believe the Yellow Jackets are the better team in this matchup and it would be fitting for them to win the Birmingham Bowl to close out the year.

2. Georgia Tech vs Vanderbilt Over 51½

Our college football predictions today also feature over 51½, which is a generous line involving teams that can pile on the points.

The Yellow Jackets scored 28, 30 and 42 points from their last three games, and the Commodores scored 23, 17 and 7. We need to see more points from the Commodores to cash the over, but this should be an open contest.

Bowl games are often high-scoring affairs because teams want to show off their skills before next year. We expect quarterbacks Haynes King and Diego Pavia to air the ball throughout the game, which should result in plenty of touchdowns.

King has been excellent with 11 touchdowns and only one interception, and limiting turnovers helps the over. Getting a 51½-point line is generous from our BetUS sportsbook, so we’re including it in our bowl picks.
