NC STATE vs FLORIDA STATE PREDICTION PICK

The Seminoles play for the first time in over 2 weeks because of covid issues which will be a setback for the offense because they haven’t been able to practice for most of that time. Offensively the Wolfpack have the upper hand as they have been playing and they are also one of the top offensive teams in the ACC with the exception of a few games this season. Florida State is a ‘defense-first’ team and when you pair that with a struggling offense, you can expect them to not only lose but this to be a low scoring game as well. The Bookie is rolling with the NC State Wolfpack to cover the spread and possibly win outright in a game that goes Under the total.
