Diego Pavia QB vs. Christian Veilleux QB
This season, Diego Pavia has been impressive in playing for Vanderbilt, dishing the ball at 75.9% completion percentage and scoring an outstanding passer rating of 177.7. He represents the team’s offensive unity as no passes are thrown for an interception with a per pass attempt average of 9.44 yards and well executed attacking plays where every chance counts to buttress there’s quite good at Vanderbilt.
Not to be outdone, Christian Veilleux has also gone above and beyond for Georgia State, achieving 448 passing yards and a completion rate of 62.5%. While he has underperformed at 6.2 yards per pass attempt, he has been smart enough to make plays without a turnover and to execute sound decision making when it comes to shooting the ball for the right purpose.
As these groups of quarterbacks face off in the arena, it would be a fight between Pavia’s power plays and Veilleux’s methodical approach. Pavia’s capability of making long bombs and making timely throws in the red zone may frustrate the central locks of the defensive unit. At the same time, Veilleux’s shrewd maneuvering ability will test the patriarchs’ preparedness for long drives.
Ground Game and Aerial Attack: Commodores’ Offensive Strategy
Vanderbilt’s ground game is anchored by Sedrick Alexander, who has already accumulated 123 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season. His average of 4.2 yards per carry along with his capacity to break for longer runs adds a dynamic layer to Vanderbilt’s offense. Quincy Skinner Jr., a key figure in the aerial attack, complements this with 86 receiving yards and a touchdown, making him a versatile threat against any secondary.
Panthers’ Response on the Field
Georgia State counters with Freddie Brock, whose 134 rushing yards eclipse his counterpart’s, boasting a robust 5.6 yards per carry. His agility and ability to find gaps can be a game-changer for the Panthers. In the passing game, Ted Hurst, with 109 receiving yards, will need to exploit every opportunity to keep the chains moving against a tough Vanderbilt defense.

Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Georgia State Panthers Betting Previews
Although Vanderbilt looks good on paper, their recent trend of not covering spreads could prove pivotal. At the same time, Georgia State may have enough fight and play at home, if not win, can at least cover the spread. It may be reasonable to bet that there will not be as significant a gap between the teams’ scores and the spread suggests, and the total is mostly likely, in such circumstances, about to shift to OVER.
Based on the way the teams have played and past performances, I am not surprised when Vanderbilt wins the game. However, wiser bets will be on Georgia State, which has the chance to cover the spread. Prop bets on individual performances like total passing yards for Pavia or rushing yards for Brock may provide some interesting options for wise bettors on top of the trends. In contrast, those who dig deeper will have to wait for more college football previews today.
Score Prediction: Vanderbilt 30, Georgia State 24.
