Vanderbilt at Texas Preview & Picks

Vanderbilt are picked to pull off a slight upset on the road at Texas.

The Commodores pass rush can cause problems for who lines up at QB for the Longhorns, while the Diego Pavia-led offense makes enough plays to deliver the victory.

  • Vanderbilt are 3-1 against ranked teams this season
  • Vanderbilt are 2-0 as a single digit underdog this season
  • The Under has cashed in 2 of Vanderbilt’s 3 road games
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Texas’ previous 4 road games

Head To Head

  • Texas lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Texas won 27-24 when the two teams last met in October 2024

Vanderbilt Form

Vanderbilt head out on the road for this massive matchup having won back-to-back games against ranked teams to reach 7-1.

The Commodores kicked off the campaign with back-to-back wins over non-conference opposition, beating Charleston-Southern 45-3 and Virginia Tech 44-20.

They then opened their SEC schedule with a stunning 31-7 blowout of ranked South Carolina on the road, before returning home for non-conference wins over Georgia State, 70-21, and Utah State, 55-35.

Vanderbilt failed to make it six-in-a-row as they lost 30-14 in Alabama, but their response has been solid.

The Commodores rebounded immediately to beat top-10 LSU at home, 31-24, and backed that up last weekend with a 17-10 success against ranked Missouri.

Texas Form

Texas enter this matchup on a three-game win streak but knowing that another SEC defeat will end their playoff hopes.

The Longhorns entered the season as AP’s number one ranked team, but were quickly knocked off the summit as they were beaten 14-7 by defending national champions Ohio State.

They rebounded over the next three weeks, but their stock plummeted as they beat San Jose State 38-7, UTEP 27-10 and Sam Houston 55-0.

Texas then fell out of AP’s rankings altogether as they lost their SEC opener in Florida, 29-21, but they have clawed their way back into the top 20 over the past three weeks.

The Longhorns rebounded with a 23-6 upset of top-10 Oklahoma, and backed that up on the road as they beat Kentucky 16-13 and Mississippi State 45-38 in overtime.

Verdict

Vanderbilt have been the fairytale story of 2025, and it could continue here.

The Commodores have roared into national relevancy while Texas have repeatedly stumbled, so we are backing the visitors for a huge road win.
