When: 8:00 PM ET, Thursday, October 8, 2015
Where: Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia
Lines: Virginia Tech -1.5
Total: 46.5
The NC State Wolfpack have gotten off to a 4-1 start, but they haven’t really played anyone year, except for Louisville and they lost that game 20-13 last week.Eastern Kentucky, Troy, ODU and South Alabama were the four victims of the Wolfpack and NC State was at least 17 point favorites in all of those games, so as you can see they have built their 4-1 record on cupcakes. Last week they took on Louisville at home and really struggled in the game, especially on offense when they put up just 13 points and 228 total yards. This after they averaged 46.3 ppg in their first 4 games. The defense did play well in the game vs the Cardinals as they allowed just 306 yards, including just 103 yards passing. Overall their defense is 3rd in yards allowed and 11th in points allowed, giving up just 13.6 ppg.
The Virginia Tech Hokies have not had a good start to their as they are just 2-3 and that includes a lost at east Carolina as 10 point favorites two weeks ago and a home loss to Pitt last week. This was a team that was favored by many to win the ACC Coastal Division. They are not playing well enough right now for that to hold up. The Defense hasn’t looked as strong as they were supposed to be as they have allowed 347 ypg overall and 197.6 ypg on the ground, which is 102nd in the Nation. The defense had 8 starters back this year so it was supposed to be strength of this team, but not so far. Offensively they are somewhat challenged as they have put up just 382.6 ypg (84th) and 31.6 ppg (69th). Virginia Tech is dealing with issues on both sides of the ball right now.

Free College Football Pick: NC State/ Virginia Tech Under 46.5
NC State put up a bunch of points vs a cupcake schedule, but when they faced a real defense last week they were held in check. Even though the Va Tech defense has struggled some this year, they did play very well last week in their loss to Pittsburgh and with the prospect of going down 0-2 in the ACC, I expect their defense to really play well in this one. The NC State defense has played very good all year and are taking on a very mediocre Virginia Tech offense. This should be a tight defensive battle in Blacksburg tonight.
