There was a point earlier this season when we were quite bullish on NC State. Yet losses in three of four in front of last week's bye, however, have caused us to change our minds on the Wolfpack, who instead look on their way to another of Dave Doeren's patented 7-5 seasons in Raleigh. In recent games, top RB Hollywood Smothers has been limited (vs VPI and Notre Dame), while QB CJ Bailey has shown a penchant for mistakes, including 3 picks in each of the losses to Duke and Notre Dame. The vibes are certainly better with Pitt, which has won and covered three in a row, impressively so, since the switch to true Mason Heintschel at QB. Play Pittsburgh
