1 unit on NC State -3.5 (-110) (risk 1 to return 1.91)
Result:
WIN

This line has moved from -7 to -3.5. South Florida has shown moxie this season, beating Louisville and giving W. Virginia all they could handle at the end of the season. But, think their fairy tale ends here. North Carolina State on paper should crush them. NC State has not played up to their potential though this year which gives pause for concern. But, the talent difference here is just too big to ignore. Their defensive front is top-notch with All Americans Mario Williams and Manny Lawson who teamed up for 22.5 sacks. The Wolfpack came on late in the season, winning 4 of 5. Frosh RB Andre Brown is going to the NFL sometime soon and should find success against the Bulls. NC State will have big crowd advantage with this one being played in Charlotte, NC. NC State's been very poor as favorite and that'll keep this to a one-star pick. One star on NC State.
