Sagarin (Friday) - Wake Forest (39) 77.16 power rating, Vanderbilt (104) 63.41. With home field advantage, Vanderbilt would be an -11.5 home dog.
Vanderbilt had no business being just a -6.5 dog to open. The Commodores are 2-0 against bad teams. Wake Forest is not a bad team.
The Commodores beat Elon Phoenix by just 9 points last week and a completely ravaged Hawaii squad the week prior. That one, to be fair, was a dominating performance of 63-10.
Mike Wright scored a program record six touchdowns throwing for 245 yards and running for 84 more versus Elon Phoenix.
Wake Forest is ranked No. 23 in the nation.
Mitch Griffis was initially expected to start in place of Sam Hartman. Giffis got the job done in Week 1 against VMI, completing 21 of 29 passes for 288 yards. He also had three touchdowns.
Hartman was cleared to play this past Tuesday after being sidelined for a month with what has since been revealed to be a blood clot. He was not guaranteed to start in this game, but it appeared likely.
The Sagarin number of -11.5 somewhat assumed Griffis was going to be the starter. This is the reason we can tack on a few points and take Wake Forest here at -13.
