Camping World Independence Bowl
NC State (6-6, 3-5 ACC) vs. Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5 SEC)
Dec. 26 – 5 p.m., ESPN2
Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La.

Average Line: NC State, -4

For the second game in-a-row, I am going to side with the underdog. Vanderbilt finished the 2016 season very strong, while beating Ole Miss and #17 Tennessee to improve from 4-6 to 6-6 in the final two weeks.

The problem with both of these teams is that neither of them can play offense. Vanderbilt and NC State rank in the bottom half of their respective conferences in total offense at the end of the 2016 season.

At the end of the day, I am going to stay with the team that finished the season better.

Advantage Commodores.
