Randy’s Pick
The Charleston Southern Buccaneers haven't played anybody through 3 games, and their one game against a division 1 team was a double-digit loss to North Florida. Not great, folks. The NC State Wolfpack are by far the more talented team and their defense is off to a fine start. It's hard to get behind Charleston Southern given what it's shown through 3 games against poor competition. Give me NC State in a comfortable home win as it gets off to a fourth straight 3-0 start.
