T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt Commodores

I like the Vanderbilt Commodores to win this game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday. With week 1 fully behind us now, here are when things start to get interesting. Vanderbilt, who played in week 0 as well as last week, start the season with a 2-0 record. Now that may seem shocking to some people, as they were just 2-10 last year, but I'm here to tell you today that this team is legit. The Commodores have combined for 105 points in their first 5 games and need to put some more up here against Wake Forest. QB Mike Wright has been dominant to open the year as well, having thrown 391 yards, 6TDs with no turnovers. Not to mention he's also ran for 247 yards and has 4 TDs on the ground. Looking at the Demon Deacons, they looked very strong in their opener as well. Although they are a strong team, Wake Forest is only 1-4 in their last five meetings against teams in the SEC. They are also only 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games played on the road on a Saturday. If they had star QB Sam Hartman in this matchup, it would be a completely different story. But they don't, so expect the Commodores to turn some heads and shock the world with an upset here at home.

T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Vandy
