It’s unfortunate that NC State is in this position in mid-October, but with a tough schedule to finish out the regular season, the Pack’s bowl chances aren’t feeling so great at this moment. State still needs two more wins to get bowl eligible and is looking like it will be a significant underdog in all three of its remaining home games.
Based on the latest SP+ ratings, we can ballpark the lines for the remaining matchups:
vs. Clemson: Clemson -10.5
vs. Miami: Miami -8.5
at Wake Forest: Wake -2
at Virginia Tech: VT -1
vs. UNC: UNC -9
NC State rates higher than Wake and VT in SP+, but home field advantage gives both a slight edge.
