#9 Clemson versus NC State Final Betting Prediction

This is one of the toughest games to handicap in week 4 because we don’t know how good Clemson is. The Tigers could be worthy of a CFP spot. Or they could be as bad as they’ve played.

To make matters more interesting, we also don’t know how good NC State is. The Wolfpack fumbled an opportunity to prove they can hang with an SEC team after Miss State beat them 24-10.

One thing we do know, though, is that the Wolfpack can score. NC State dropped 45 onto both USF and Furman. Clemson could muster just 14 versus one of the worst teams in the ACC, Georgia Tech. 

That doesn’t mean NC State wins this outright. Either team could eke out a victory. Both teams should play excellent defense. Taking the 10 points is necessary in what projects as a defensive struggle.
