Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt Prediction:
Take Georgia Tech to win and cover the 3 point spread. The weather in Birmingham on Friday is looking like showers and winds gusting up to 25 mph. Whichever team wins the ground game should win this game. Georgia Tech ranks 32nd in yards per rush attempt averaging 4.9. Haynes King is averaging 5.1 yards per carry on the season with 11 rushing touchdowns. His backfield running mate Jamal Haynes is averaging 5.3 yards per carry and has 9 touchdowns on the season. Vanderbilt ranks 108th averaging 3.6 yards per rush attempt. Diego Pavia averages 4.1 yards per carry and has 6 rushing touchdowns this season. Sedrick Alexander is averaging 3.7 yards per carry with 6 touchdowns. Both teams are pretty even against the run with Vandy ranking 72nd and Georgia Tech ranking 81st. I’ll give the edge to the Yellow Jackets in this matchup.
