Two of the most surprising teams in the SEC get together in this one. They are very similar statistically, both have dual-threat QBs, and both have overachieved all year.
Vandy’s Diego Pavia is the better of the two QBs, leading the Commodores in rushing while throwing 15 TD passes on the season against just three picks.
South Carolina has nice wins over A&M and Kentucky but they have one-score losses to Alabama and LSU. On the surface, that’s not too bad but Vandy beat Bama and gave Texas everything they wanted before ultimately losing by three. I just don’t think there is a 5.5-point difference between these two teams, especially when Vanderbilt is at home.
