As NC State prepares to head into our House of Horrors in Winston-Salem on Saturday, the Las Vegas oddsmakers have made the Wolfpack 9.5 point favorites and set the over/under at 46 points – NC State has scored just 26 total points in two ACC games as Wake Forest has scored just 40 points in four ACC games. The Wolfpack have fared well against the Las Vegas line as of late – going 6-1 against the spread over the last 7 games.
NC State hasn’t won in Winston-Salem since 2001, losing six straight games in Forsyth County; but, the Pack still holds a 21-16-1 overall record at Wake Forest and leads the overall series 64-38-6. Dave Doeren’s first squad was favored by 6.5 points in 2013 but ultimately lost to Wake, 28-13. The home team has won each of the last eight years, with Wake Forest’s 2006 win at Carter-Finley the most recent victory by a visiting team. (*shakes head in disgust*)
As a reminder, Saturday’s game will be televised on regional sports networks and ESPN3.
