NC State Football was recently pegged at 7.5 wins by a handful of odds makers in Vegas. NC State has a cakewalk of a schedule to open the season as they play Troy, Eastern Kentucky, Old Dominion, and South Alabama. There is little reason to doubt that the Pack will open the season at 4-0. It all comes down to the question can the Pack win 4 ACC games? I think they can as they host Louisville, Clemson, Syracuse, and UNC. State should be able to win two of these games which will put them at 6 wins. The Pack must travel to VT, Wake, BC, and FSU. I too believe that they can walk out with two wins and possibly three.

I am taking the over as I am confident that we are better than a .500 team in the ACC. NC State has too good of a ground game and an experienced signal caller not win at least 5 games in the ACC. I also trust our experienced secondary and see Jerod Fernandez anchoring our defense from the linebacker position. Even though the Pack has lost some experience upfront I am excited about the added plays that our younger players will receive. Talent can make up from lack of experience and NC State has some talented pass rushers who should step up.

What are you taking the over or under?
