Shane’s Free Pick

The last time these two teams faced off Clemson had little issues, but this game is going to be a little different. NC State’s offense scored 97 points on Wednesday and they are going to continue the offensive success in this game. Clemson only has nine losses this season, but I’m still not sold on this team. NC State’s offense is going to be too much as the Wolfpack get the job done. Back NC State against the spread.
