NC State Wolfpack vs Syracuse Orange Best Picks and Prediction
NC State Wolfpack (+3.5) should win this close game. Syracuse has played some harder opponents in extremely close games, so a low-scoring battle could ensue.
The Wolfpack should keep the game within the (+3.5) point spread, as there may not be many points scored. Although Syracuse is averaging the 39th most yards and 23rd most points per game, they didn't stand out against Virginia or Purdue.
The Wolfpack's defense is solid, holding their own against Florida State, Texas Tech, and Clemson. Meanwhile, only the 16th fewest scores and 17th fewest yards have been allowed by NC State. Their schedule has also been a lot more challenging, and they look more ready for this game.
Pick: Over 42 (-110)
Prediction: NC State Wolfpack +3.5 (-110)
