OUR PREDICTION: Georgia Tech has been on the field way too long defensively in its two games, including last Saturday against a Mercer program it should have had no issues making third-down stops against. The Commodores are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games in September and have cashed in 14 of their last 20 road games. The Yellow Jackets, meanwhile, are 1-4 against the spread in their last five home games and 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Look for Vandy’s rushing attack and defense to keep the Commodores in the game throughout.
