Shane’s Free Pick
Florida State was more competitive in the last game, but this is still a team that isn’t very good. They are averaging only 69.8 points per game and their offense isn’t going to them much of a chance here. NC State is going to get over its season average of 79.3 points and that is going to be the difference here. Back NC State against the spread.
