NC State (20-9) @ Georgia Tech (11-18)
The Pick: NC State -2.5
NC State has been red hot recently as they have won 4 straight games with their last loss coming to an impressive North Carolina squad. Georgia Tech is so far opposite on the “hot spectrum” as they have lost 7 straight games and their last 2 at home.
The Stats
When looking at the stats for the teams NC State is averaging 81.4 points a game while Georgia Tech is averaging 64.9 points a game.

On the other hand, NC State has been red hot as of late and should demolish 67 points.
