Point Spread Pick
Miami Florida -15.5(-110)

The Miami Hurricanes host the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday afternoon in what should be a gorgeous day on South Beach. The Wolfpack will be riding high after their upset win over Georgia Tech 2 weeks ago, one of a couple of results that have made a total mess of the ACC standings. Miami is hanging on by a thread to its playoff chances, with 2 losses already and a tough road game at Pitt to finish the season still to go. This should be a spot where Miami leaves no doubt, as the ‘Canes certainly can’t afford to let NC State hang around here and risk a loss. I’ll take the Hurricanes, but admittedly, I don’t love this number and fear that it leaves the back door wide open.

For me, this pick comes down to the NC State defense. That defense is just dreadful. The Wolfpack rank 120th overall in total defense, and 2nd-to-last in passing yards allowed. They have played some pass-happy teams—UVA, Pitt—but they have played some run-heavy teams too, yet they have been gashed in the air by everyone. Carson Beck should have a career day against this leaky pass defense. The concern here is that the Pack can score through the air, but with a defense that has allowed 36, 53, and 36 to its last 3 opponents, I just cannot bring myself to back NC State on the road in this spot. I’ll take Miami -15.5.

NC State vs Miami Prediction: Miami Hurricanes -15.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
