Athlon Predicts NC State will Finish 8-4 in 2018

The Athlon 2018 ACC Football Preview is out, and they project that NC State will finish with a record of 8-4, and 3rd in the Atlantic.

They also found NC State to be the hardest team to evaluate.

They think that NC State has the best wide receiver corps (duh), and the 3rd best offensive line.

Below they breakdown why they think that NC State will finish 3rd in the Atlantic:

Why NC State No. 3 in the Atlantic?

It’s no secret NC State has some significant losses to address on defense, especially in the trenches following Bradley Chubb’s departure to the NFL. But the Wolfpack should be able to finish third behind an offense that features the league’s best quarterback in Ryan Finley. Also, Wake Forest and Boston College play in Raleigh, and coach Dave Doeren’s team catches North Carolina and Virginia from the Coastal Division. (Athlon)
