NC State vs Notre Dame Prediction
In this NC State vs Notre Dame Prediction, NC State is coming as -6.5 road favorites. NC State has been the better team this season but has been struggling lately with a 1-3 record in its last 4 games and 1-5 against the spread. Notre Dame has not been in better form either, as they are 1-7 in their last 8 games and have an inferior offense, scoring 10.2 points per game less than NC State, so I like the value with the road team in this matchup. Take NC State and lay the points on the road for a bounce-back win.
