On the other side of this matchup is the NC State Wolfpack who sits with a 7-6 record overall and they have gone 2-11 against the spread.

Florida State is 0-7-1 against the spread in their last eight games played on Saturday. Florida State is  0-8 against the spread in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The over is 4-0 in Florida State’s last four games. The over is 6-1 in NC State’s last seven home games. 

The trends point towards the over, and there is going to be plenty of scoring in this game. NC State is averaging 77.2 points while their defense is giving up 75.5 points per game. Look for a high paced game, and this game is going to go over the total.
