Three Bold Predictions for Vanderbilt Football in 2024

1. Vanderbilt will snap their 28-game SEC losing streak

Vanderbilt hasn't won an SEC game since 2019, and their losing streak currently stands at 28 games. However, there are reasons to believe that the Commodores could finally break through in 2024.

• Vanderbilt has a strong recruiting class coming in for 2024.
• Head coach Clark Lea is entering his fourth season, and he's starting to get his own players in the program.
• The SEC East is not as strong as it used to be, with several teams rebuilding.

If Vanderbilt can stay healthy and get some breaks, they have a good chance to snap their losing streak in 2024.

2. Vanderbilt will finish with a winning record

Vanderbilt hasn't had a winning record since 2013, but that could change in 2024. The Commodores have a favorable schedule, and they should be able to win at least six games.

• Vanderbilt opens the season with four non-conference games, and they should be favored in all four.
• The Commodores have only four SEC road games, and two of those are against teams that are rebuilding.
• Vanderbilt has a chance to win at least two of their three SEC home games.

If Vanderbilt can take care of business against the teams they should beat, they have a good chance of finishing with a winning record in 2024.

3. Vanderbilt will make a bowl game

Vanderbilt hasn't been to a bowl game since 2018, but that could change in 2024. The Commodores need to finish with a 6-6 record to become bowl eligible, and that's a realistic goal.

• Vanderbilt has a favorable schedule, and they should be able to win at least six games.
• The Commodores have a lot of young talent, and they should be improved in 2024.
• Vanderbilt has a strong coaching staff, and they are starting to get their own players in the program.

If Vanderbilt can stay healthy and get some breaks, they have a good chance of making a bowl game in 2024.
