NC State vs Virginia Tech Prediction & Pick

These two teams come into this one trending in two different directions. Virginia Tech has won three consecutive games, while NC State is a loser of two straight. Virginia Tech's defense has been a main catalyst in that span, holding teams below an average of 60 points per game for the last three. Well below their 68.9 opponent points per game average for the year.

However, Notre Dame, Louisville, and Florida State (VT's last three opponents) are three of the worst offensive teams in the nation. all ranked outside the top 200 in points per game. I expect this to be a different ball game against the Wolfpack and for both teams to get out and run and put some points on the board, with NC State ultimately getting back on track.

Prediction: NC State 78 | Virginia Tech 70

NC State vs Virginia Tech Best Bet

I believe ther eis value on NC State here in this one at just a 2.5-point favorite. It's easy to see Virginia Tech coming in as winners of three straight and NC State the losers of two straight, but looking at the opponents, NC State has gone up against a much tougher set of late.

NC State went 22-9 this season and earned the No. 6 seed. They have already gone into Blacksburg and beaten Virginia Tech earlier this season. Now, at a neutral site, in their home state, the Wolfpack should have the crowd edge here and roll to a cover.

Bet: NC State -2.5 (-115)
