NC State Wolfpack vs. Boston College Eagles Prediction

I’m on NC State here. I just don’t think that Boston College has it in them to hang with NC State in this game for a full 40 minutes. It may be close early on with NC State finding their legs on the road again, but I think the Wolfpack have too much of a talent edge for me to think they don’t pull away in the second half and get the win and cover here. Give me NC State in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: NC State -12.5
