Coleg Basketball Picks Clemson vs NC State

NC State has gotten off to a respectable 11-3 start this year, but it is 1-2 in ACC play and failed to blow out a horrible Louisville squad. Clemson has already taken down a rising Wake Forest team in conference play as well as a solid Penn State squad early in the season. The Tigers have been tested.

Clemson is averaging an impressive 81.0 points per home game on a 50.4% shooting mark. The Tigers are also turning the ball over just 10.7 times per game at Littlejohn Coliseum. Their ability to get to the rim and make clean passes should give them a big enough lead to cruise to a victory.

Clemson is riding a 10-game home winning streak and is 4-1 straight up in its last five games against NC State. Give me the Tigers.

Final Score Prediction: Clemson: 79 | NC State: 71

Clemson vs NC State Pick

Not only are the Tigers 4-1 straight up in their last five games against the Wolfpack, but they are also 4-0-1 against the spread (ATS) during that span. Each outright win came by at least 4 points. Clemson is 6-3 ATS in its last nine games overall and 5-0 ATS in its last five games against an ACC foe as well.

NC State is only 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games overall and 1-7 ATS in its last eight away games. It is also a dismal 0-8 ATS in its last eight games against an ACC opponent. If it's not obvious by now, the Tigers enter this game with a chance to make a statement to the rest of the ACC with an easy win.

Bet: Clemson Tigers -1.5 (-115)
