North Carolina Tar Heels / NC State Wolfpack – Over 62.5
The North Carolina Tar Heels will travel to Carter-Finley Stadium to take on the 20th ranked NC State Wolfpack this Friday night and I’m expecting this game to hit the Over.
North Carolina hasn’t been as explosive as we expected this season, however, this is still a team that is averaging 37.0 ppg while ranking 14th in scoring offense & 10th in total offense.
NC State has also been solid on the offensive end, ranking 32nd in scoring offense and should have plenty of success against a North Carolina defense allowing over 31.0 ppg.
Over is 7-2 in the Tar Heels last 7 games as a road underdog & 9-1 in the Tar Heels last 10 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Over is 4-1 in the Wolfpack last 5 games following a ATS win & 4-1 in the Wolfpack last 5 home games.
NC State defense has been solid this season, however, they can be scored on through the air as we saw when the Wolfpack gave up 45 points to Wake Forest and as I expect that we see plenty of points in this one, I’m taking the Over while it’s at a reasonable number. Good Luck!
