Las Vegas thinks that North Carolina State has the better offense over Vanderbilt. The Wolfpack are probably better through the air than Vanderbilt. However, Vanderbilt has had a strong defense in the SEC led by middle linebacker Zach Cunningham all season. For a pair of 6-6 teams going head-to-head, this should be a fun watch on Monday evening the day after Christmas.
