Howling at the Moon

It's a big game in the ACC, and Vegas has the Wolf Pack tabbed as 4.5 point underdogs at home this evening conference rival Florida State.

We like the Wolf Pack at home to cover the points.

The public is siding with the boys from Tallahassee, and why shouldn't they? Florida State is one of the favorites to win the ACC this year and they beat the Wolf Pack in their house last year.

I'll go against the public thank you very much. Sitting at 5-2, this is an enormous game for NC ST. and quarterback Russell Wilson, who is outgunned the Noles' Christian Ponder this year in terms of yards, while Ponder just gets him with a little higher of a completion rating.

Listen, bottom line here is is that it's Thursday Night Football on ESPN. Home dogs do well in these games, as this is often pegged as one of the biggest games of the year by the hosting school. We will see what happens, but as noted before I'm siding with the home side.

The Pick: North Carolina State Wolf Pack +4.5, 50x.
