[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) and the NC State Wolfpack (1-0) meet Saturday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Below, we look at Tennessee vs. NC State odds from FanDuel Sportsbook before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.

The Volunteers spanked FCS Chattanooga 69-3 in the opener, covering as a 38.5-point favorite as the Over (57) cashed. The Mocs were ranked No. 8 in the FCS preseason Top 25 Coaches Poll, too, so they’re a pretty decent team. The Vols racked up 304 rushing yards and 414 passing yards, and Tennessee had 36 1st downs to just 10 for Chattanooga.

The Wolfpack had a little more difficult time with their FCS foe, Western Carolina. The Catamounts took a 14-7 lead after the 1st half, and WCU led 21-17 after 3 quarters. However, the 4th quarter was all NC State, outscoring the visitors 21-0 to win 38-21. NC State rushed for 203 yards, while passing for 318 yards.

Tennessee is No. 15 and NC State is No. 22 in the US LBM Coaches Poll — conducted by the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY Sports.
