NC State vs Miami Prediction 

Miami was able to bounce back with a blowout win over Syracuse last week, but the score was a bit misleading, as they struggled to pull away for a while. The Hurricanes have had some trouble against the better teams in the conference, but they should take care of business here. NC State did upset Georgia Tech in their last game, but they have allowed 36, 53, and 36 points in their last three games. I am a little hesitant, but I don’t like the NC State defense, so give me Miami here.
