Florida State Seminoles at North Carolina State Wolfpack, 4 pm Eastern

The Pick: N.C. State +2.5 (-110), bet $11 to win $10

(shrug) Home dog. Florida State is 1-4 against the spread in their last five games, and while N.C. State has lost four in a row, they are 6-2 at home this season. The Wolfpack score an average of 77.2 points per game. Their adjusted offense is 71st in the nation. I like them getting points in their own gym against a Seminole squad that’s lost three of their last four themselves.
