![]() The NC State Wolfpack and the No. 15 Virginia Tech Hokies will both be trying to pick up a win on Saturday at 3:30pm EST when they battle at Lane Stadium. College football betting odds makers currently have the Hokies listed as 21-point favorites against the Wolfpack for Saturday's match-up. Russell Wilson was 12-of-32 for 183 yards and two touchdowns for NC State in a 43-23 loss to Clemson in week 11. The Wolfpack did not cover the 8-point spread in college football betting odds while the final score played OVER the day's posted total of 55.5. NC State has had difficulty lately stopping other teams allowing 30 or more points in their seventh consecutive game against Clemson. The Wolfpack are now out of bowl consideration and head coach Tom O'Brien is not happy about last week's loss. "I don't understand that at all," O'Brien said. "You come out and have a chance to play, and you have to make plays. Too many mistakes to be against somebody as good as Clemson is. We've got chances, got guys open. They've got to catch it." Heading into this week 12 match-up, NC State is 4-6 straight up, 3-5 against the spread in college football odds and 6-4 when playing on grass. Tyrod Taylor threw for 268 yards and a career-high three touchdowns as Virginia Tech built an early 24-point lead before coasting to a 36-9 victory over Maryland in Week 11. The Hokies covered the 20-point spread in college football betting odds while the final score played UNDER the day's posted total of 47 at online sportsbooks. Even though they won the game, Virginia Tech was eliminated from the Atlantic Coast Conference title game but could still play in a bowl game with a win on Saturday. The Hokies are 7-3 straight up, 5-5 against the spread and 9-1 when playing in November. Lanning's College Football Picks: NC State doesn't have much to play for except the role of spoiler against a Virginia Tech team looking to make it into a bowl game but I don't think that is going to happen. My college football pick for this week 12 match-up on will be to take the Virginia Tech at home laying the points against NC State. Vegas odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Hokies 21-point favorites in college football betting for week 12 against the Wolfpack. |
