– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Another week, another week of trying to work with whatever Duke is.
There’s been a love/hate relationship with the Blue Devils, but every time they owe us, they pay off.
After beating up and knocking out Syracuse last week and keeping it close against Virginia Tech the week before, Duke owes us.
But instead of being anti-Duke here, this is more about being pro-NC State.
The Wolfpack aren’t winning the ACC title, and they’re not a special team, but they’ve been solid with two straight road wins starting with an offense that’s finding its groove.
Oddly enough, this is the first meeting between the two since 2013, and home field doesn’t matter what it normally does – especially with the two schools just 20 miles apart – but this is the Pack’s first game in Raleigh since the opener against Wake Forest almost a month ago.
Duke is giving away turnovers like Halloween candy, and NC State will capitalize on every mistake.
All you’re asking for is an NC State by 4.5 against a Blue Devil team whose four losses are all by seven points or more.
