NC State Wolfpack vs Clemson Tigers prediction
The NC State Wolfpack have the talent to turn their season around, but they’re in a bit of a funk right now where the offense just can’t get out of the mud. The Clemson Tigers defense should add to those issues, and they can be a real handful when things aren’t going well. When these teams met last March, Clemson held NC State to just 54 points. Clemson is coming off some nice wins, and it’s 14-10 ATS on the season. The Clemson Tigers are quietly making a name for themselves as one of the better teams in the ACC. I’ll lay the chalk with the home team.
