Matchup: #15 Florida State Seminoles @ North Carolina State Wolfpack
Date: Thursday, October 28th, 7:45 ET
Location: Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, NC
Game Line: Florida State -3.5
Over/Under 57

The ACC Atlantic will probably be decided on Thursday night when the 6-1 Florida State Seminoles travel to Raleigh to take on the 5-2 North Carolina State Wolfpack. Florida State is currently undefeated in ACC play with a 4-0 mark and is widely considered the best team in the conference. Two Saturdays ago against Boston College, the Seminoles had a letdown game but still managed a 24-19 victory. QB Christian Ponder struggled in the game, completing 19 of 31 passes for 170 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, but it was revealed after the game that Ponder had broken a bursa sac in his throwing arm. He will start on Thursday, but it would be prudent to monitor his condition before kickoff. As for the Wolfpack, they moved the ball at ease on East Carolina in their last game, but four turnovers negated the 476 yards of offense they put up and led to a heartbreaking 33-27 overtime loss to the Pirates. In the loss, QB Russell Wilson was erratic, completing 26 of 52 passes for 322 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. On the defensive side of the ball, NC State must improve a pass defense that allowed Dominique Davis to shred them for 376 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, both Ponder and Wilson will be vitally important to their team’s chances to win Thursday night.

Cincinnati Bearcats @ North Carolina State Wolfpack (-2)
Thursday, September 16th
7:45 ET, Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, NC

After struggling for the first game and a half, new Bearcats HC Butch Jones finally got his team to show some signs of life by scoring 28 points in the second half in a 40-7 win over the Indiana State Sycamores. The Bearcats got it done mainly on the ground against the Sycamores, racking up 263 rushing yards on 45 carries to help give Cincinnati the win. QB Zach Collaros was also efficient in the performance, completing 11-of-17 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Though Cincinnati may not be the team it was last year, it is still a likely bowl team and a formidable opponent for the Wolfpack on Thursday. The Wolfpack struggled mightily offensively against the UCF Knights last week, but five turnovers from the Knights helped give NC State a 28-21 victory in Orlando. QB Russell Wilson had one of the worst games of his career, only completing 10 of 30 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in leading the Wolfpack to only 239 total yards of offense. However, the versatile Wilson should bounce back against a Cincinnati defense that has struggled early on this year.

NCAA Football Pick: N.C. State -2
Score Prediction: North Carolina State 31 – Cincinnati 24
