North Carolina has momentum coming in. The Heels are riding a four-game win streak (all of which they covered in the NCAA betting odds), which includes victories against Virginia Tech and Miami. It might be the right time for them to capitalize against NC State’s quarterback.
Russell Wilson has proven to be a little more mistake-prone as the season has progressed. He’s thrown eleven interceptions in his last seven games after throwing just one previously in his college career.
North Carolina State has yielded just shy of 40 points a game over the last eight games, and some of the teams that have moved the ball against them are not known for potent offense. That includes teams like Maryland and Boston College, not to mention Wake Forest. This lack of potency on the defensive side has contributed to the team’s 3-6 record in the NCAA betting odds.
Last year’s meeting had to be absolutely gut-wrenching for Butch Davis’ North Carolina team, as they were outgained by an absurd 41-10 margin in being thrashed by a 41-10 score. This would seem like a big revenge special, but we’re a little hesitant because of North Carolina’s ability to put together a consistent offense. They’re ranked 113th in the country in yards per game, and that is probably a pretty accurate reflection of what they’ve been capable of doing.
Quarterback TJ Yates has thrown 13 interceptions to go with his 10 TD’s, and he just doesn’t have the kind of receiving talent at his disposal as he had last year, with the likes of Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate (for as long as he was healthy).
While we can’t make this a top recommendation, we certainly move toward the North Carolina side, since the Wolfpack has found a way to lose touch with quite a few opponents lately (dropping four of the last six by at least 20 points).
If we’re going to be looking to one of these sides to make the extra stop or two, we prefer the Tar Heels’ speedy stop unit, which has logged 19 interceptions, allowed just six TD passes and ranks fifth overall in the country.
We’re laying the points with North Carolina, the 5.5-point favorite in the BetUS NCAAF betting odds.
