Vanderbilt at Georgia: Three things to know
- Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller became the first female to play in a Power 5 football game in last week’s 41-0 loss to Missouri. She didn’t get a field goal or point after attempt but did kick-off to start the second half. She is listed at the top of the depth chart this weekend.
- The Commodores fired head coach Derek Mason after last week’s ugly loss, and they will turn to offensive coordinator Todd Fitch as the interim head coach. Vandy has dropped 12 straight in the SEC, their longest skid since losing 23 in a row in the league from 2000-03.
- Georgia spanked South Carolina 45-16 last week, covering a 22-point number, snapping a 2-2 SU/0-4 ATS slide. The Over has hit in three in a row, and four of the past five overall. UGA is averaging 31.3 PPG while allowing just 20.6 PPG. The Bulldogs are third in the nation with just 75.3 rushing yards per game allowed.

Prediction
Georgia 45, Vanderbilt 6
Money line (ML)
There was no money line posted as of this publishing, probably because of the lopsided spread. It wouldn’t be worth pursuing, anyway.
Against the spread (ATS)
GEORGIA -35.5 (-110) looks to keep things going in a positive direction against beleaguered Vanderbilt +35.5 (-110). The Commodores were roughed up last week against Mizzou by a 41-0 score, so it’s uncertain how or why they will be able to perform better against a substantially stronger opponent on the road. The highlight of this one, like last week’s game, will be Fuller, and the positive attention she brings to the struggling program.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 53.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play, as the Under has hit in 12 of the past 17 overall for Vandy, and they’re coming off a shutout loss. The Under is also 4-1 in Vanderbilt’s past five on the road. Georgia has hit the Over in five of the past six, but the Under is 8-3 in UGA’s past 11 between the hedges, and 4-1 in the past five meetings with Vanderbilt.
