NCAAF - The Wolfpack are off an easy confidence-boosting 45-0 win last week. The Bulldogs expended a lot of energy in their game as there was nothing easy about it as they had to rally from a 34-14 deficit. Mississippi State hung on for the 35-34 win but was fortunate that Louisiana Tech missed a game-winning field goal. With momentum on their side, NC State is also easy to like here because they truly appear to be the better team offensively, defensively and in special teams. This is per the units rating within the simulator system. The Bulldogs get some shading because of home field but the result is you can take the better team at a pick'em price. The fact the Wolfpack are on the road here will not be a detriment. NC State went 3-1 in final 4 road games last season. Mississippi State went 1-3 in first 4 home games last season. Value!
