My Prediction: This one is tough to call. NC State has the advantage on offense while Louisville holds the advantage on defense. Louisville has covered 8 of their last 10 overall and all 6 away from home this year. With this close of a game I look at who has the quarterback edge and that would be Mike Glennon and NC State. They are also playing close to home and sold out their allotment of tickets for this game. Either pass on this game or take the 'Pack.

NC State -2.5
