Coming off a better-than-the-score-indicated win over Syracuse in a Thursday night game, a Wolfpack squad with a few extra days rest welcomes a Boston College team fresh off a bye week. The Eagles, however, had to use that time off to break in a first-time starting QB.
Will NC State put together back-to-back ACC wins in Bailey Hockman's second start? Or will BC, behind former walk-on QB Dennis Grosel, secure a home win and continue to march toward bowl eligibility?
Each BTP contributor provides their score prediction below, plus a quick blurb on their predicted outcome. Here we go!

Prediction: 23-27 (L)

Prediction: 31-16 (W)
Comment: “Offense continues to look better, while Pack D forces BC to settle for FGs early. 10-9 game at half, then State pulls away“
