South Florida vs NC State -19 O/U 58
NC State Quarterback Devin Leary should be on a mission last year. He started only 4 games due to injury and his numbers were pretty nice throwing 8 TDs and only 2 Interceptions vs some pretty difficult teams. Coach Dave Doeren and offensive coordinator Tim Beck have the paced picked up for this team at 25 seconds per play and they had a nice average score over 30 points per game in the ACC. South Florida was a terrible team last year giving up over 6 yards per play and over 40 points per game in the American Athletic Conference. Their defense replaces 7 starters and I can’t imagine much of a change coming into this game. What also won’t change is that they play a very fast game at 23.9 seconds per play which doesn’t bode well for giving up points. Now I am not sure how many points USF can put up this game being that they only averaged 23 last year but I do think that NC State should score at least 6 touchdowns which should bring them over the team total of 38.5. Last year, USF Gave up 39 or more points in 5 of their last 5 games. Take a team total over on the Wolfpack.
NC State team total over 38.5 – 1.5 stars
