Camping World Independence Bowl
NC State (6-6, 3-5 ACC) vs. Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5 SEC)
Dec. 26 – 5 p.m., ESPN2
Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La.

Average Line: NC State, -4

NC State has had some bright moments this year such as their overtime game with Clemson. Dave Doeren is slowly building this program in the right direction. Taking all that into account, I still like Vandy in this one. Derrick Mason can coach some defense. Linebacker Zach Cunningham is my favorite defensive player in the country, he is absolutely tenacious.

Score Prediction: 17-14 Vandy

Players to Watch:

Zach Cunningham (LB) Vandy

Ryan Finely (QB) NCST

Ralph Webb (RB) Vandy

Next: Heart of Dallas Bowl
