The set-up: Clearly I'm not calling for the outright upset here, but NC State can't afford to take the foot off the gas despite defeat being inevitable here. The Wolfpack are 4-4 and while this game is a "write off" as far as conceivably pulling off a SU victory, I do think it'll put up more than enough of a fight to easily get the job done with the ample points they've been afforded in this matchup. Clemson most recently annihilated the Wofford Terriers 59-14.

The pick: But the Wolfpack come in hungry to atone for a 44-10 loss to Wake Forest in their most recent action. Both of NC State's wins over its last five games have come at home. The Wolfpack are also 25-10 ATS in their last 35 after posting less than 275 total yards in their past contest. Expect this one to be much closer than what this spread would suggest. Grab the points.

8* play on NC State.
