Virginia Tech vs Vanderbilt AI Prediction:
Free CFB Betting Insights for 8/31/24

Virginia Tech, under head coach Brent Pry, is aiming to build on their 7-6 record from last year, which included a bowl victory over Tulane. The Hokies will rely heavily on returning quarterback Kyron Drones, who threw for 17 touchdowns and ran for an additional 818 yards in 2023. The team has a solid running game led by Bhayshul Tuten, who recorded 863 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

On defense, Virginia Tech brings back several key players, including Antwaun Powell-Ryland, who had 9.5 sacks in 2023, and Keli Lawson, their leading tackler. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, is coming off a challenging 2-10 season with a winless record in the SEC. They hope to turn things around with new offensive coordinator Tim Beck and dual-threat quarterback Diego Pavia, who transferred from New Mexico State. Vanderbilt’s offense will be looking for a spark from their running game, led by Sedrick Alexander. Defensively, the Commodores need significant improvement, particularly in stopping the run, to have a chance against a physically imposing Virginia Tech team.

Hokies AI Preview

Virginia Tech is looking to continue its positive momentum after improving from 3 to 7 wins in 2023. Quarterback Kyron Drones will be crucial, and with a healthy complement of returning players, the Hokies’ offense is expected to perform well. Their running game, featuring Bhayshul Tuten, will be a key focus against Vanderbilt’s vulnerable defense. Defensively, Virginia Tech looks strong, with a well-rounded unit capable of pressuring the quarterback and containing the run. The Hokies are favored to win and expected to start their season with a decisive victory.

Commodores AI Preview

The Vanderbilt Commodores are looking to improve after a tough 2023 season. With a new offensive coordinator, Tim Beck, and Diego Pavia stepping in at quarterback, Vanderbilt aims to bring more creativity and energy to its offense. However, they face challenges with a rebuilt receiving corps and a defense that allowed 36.2 points per game last season. Key players like Langston Patterson and Khordae Sydnor must step up to bolster a defense that has struggled against both the run and the pass. The Commodores need to play a near-perfect game to pull off an upset against Virginia Tech.
