Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Vanderbilt -3.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Vanderbilt -3.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): NC State +3.5
This one splits the room. Ryan and Sean are laying the points with Vanderbilt at home, and Colby is taking NC State and the points the other way.
Colby made the case for the Wolfpack and the points. He said NC State is the better football team right now and pointed at Vanderbilt leaning on a true freshman quarterback, a highly touted recruit they flipped away from Georgia, against an NC State side he trusts more. Colby admitted backing the underdog has burned him before and said he was doing it again anyway.
Ryan and Sean landed on Vanderbilt -3.5 with a handicap-the-handicapper angle. Their read was that Colby is too close to this situation, and that when he puts NC State on the card with the intention of taking them it tends not to work out. They also noted Vandy has been tough at home, so they laid the points with the Commodores.
