Texas vs Vanderbilt Prediction and Betting Picks For 10/26/24

On Saturday, Texas and Vanderbilt will meet as SEC foes for the first time in Nashville. Texas is a 19.5-point favorite going into this game, where they will be looking to rebound from a loss for the first time this year. In this preview of Texas vs Vanderbilt, we will look at the keys to this game for each team and give our college football picks for this matchup from the SEC.

Can Texas Rebound From First Loss Of Season?

Texas had a disappointing showing in their most recent outing, losing at home to the Georgia Bulldogs in a matchup of top-five teams. The Longhorns were shut down in the first half of that game and were unable to make up the deficit in the second half of play. In this game, the calls to switch from Quinn Ewers to Arch Manning at quarterback will likely only grow louder after Ewers struggled against Georgia. But a faster start from the Longhorns will be a necessity no matter who is under center in this conference clash.

Will Vandy Put Another Team On Upset Alert?

Vanderbilt is 5-2 overall this season and 2-1 in the SEC. They can secure bowl eligibility with a win over Texas this week, despite oddsmakers seeing that as a remote possibility. The Commodores have won three games in a row entering this Texas vs Vanderbilt matchup, including a win over a previous number-one ranked team in Alabama. If Diego Pavia and the Vanderbilt offense can find a way to get up and running again in this game, they could put a scare into Texas as well.

Texas vs Vanderbilt Matchup History

Texas and Vanderbilt have faced off a total of 12 times in their history. Despite the current reputation of both programs, Vandy holds an 8-3-1 advantage in the all-time series between these teams. But Texas and Vandy are now conference opponents in the SEC, which should mean more meetings in the near future and more chances for Texas to cut into their all-time deficit against the Commodores.

Texas vs Vanderbilt Prediction

Texas should be able to bounce back and get a win over Vanderbilt. But our best bet for Texas vs Vanderbilt is for the Commodores to cover the spread as a sizable underdog at home. While the Commodores certainly have their share of flaws that need to be addressed, they also have enough offensive firepower to keep things respectable in this matchup in the SEC. Look for Texas to win by closer to two touchdowns than three.
