The set-up: NC State comes in fresh here as its Week 3 matchup against No. 12 ranked WVU was postponed due to the Hurricane. So far the Wolfpack are 2-0 with victories over Georgia State and James Madison. Marshall's Week 3 contest was also cancelled with South Carolina. It's also 2-0 with wins over Miami and Eastern Kentucky.

The teams: NC State QB Finley has over 6,500 yards and 35 TD's the past two seasons and he has over 300 yards passing in each of the first two games this year. The offense gets a big boost this week as well with the addition of former Trojan TE Cary Angeline, who was a four-star recruit and who is expected to play a big part in the offense right away.

Marshall QB Isaiah Green has 550 yards over his first two games. Tyre Brady caught 11 passes for 248 yards in a losing cause to NC State last year and I think he's going to come up short this season as well.

The pick: As note that the Herd are just 3-10 in their last 13 against teams from Power Five conferences. Take it for what you will as well, but Marshall is 0-4 ATS in its last four at home, while NC State is 6-2-1 ATS in its last nine on the road. Lay the points.
