One of the bigger games in the ACC this Saturday pits the 4-1 NC State Wolfpack against the 6-0 Clemson Tigers. NC State's strong start includes wins against Wake Forest in its conference opener and Notre Dame last Saturday in a 10-3 grinder as a 2.5-point home favorite. The Tigers have remained perfect on the year with victories against Georgia Tech, Louisville and Boston College in ACC play.
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson came into this season as one of the top favorites to win this year's Heisman Trophy and he remains in the running with 1,572 passing yards and 18 touchdown throws while also rushing for 244 yards on 58 carries. NC State has relied on a balanced offensive attack to average 34 points a game, but its defense deserves a good deal of credit for the fast start with a points-allowed average of 17.6 that is ranked 15th in nation.
As part of my ACC 'best bet" pick of the week for SportsBettingStats.com, the link below is to my complete preview and prediction for this game in which Clemson comes in as a heavy 17.5-point home favorite.
