The fading Wolfpack are struggling down the stretch and haven't won a game since barely getting by an awful Syracuse team a few weeks ago. They seem a longshot candidate to give Clemson any sort of test Saturday. Even so, they have the home-filed advantage and a history of competitive games with the Tigers. look for N.C. State to muster just enough offense to clip this generous number.

There are plenty of walking wounded on N.C. State, and Clemson will be motivated to run up the score to impress the playoff committee. But 32 points on the road against a team that has not lost straight-up at home are too many to give. Clemson’s take-no-prisoners offense is rocking, but it has yet to confront an ACC defense as stout as the Wolfpack’s, which is ranked fourth in the league.
