BTP Pregame Predictions: Western Carolina

Fresh off a great looking win over East Carolina, NC State welcomes a team from the opposite end of the state this weekend in the form of the Western Carolina Catamounts (rawr). WCU’s offense looked good last Saturday, but the defense couldn’t stop giving up big plays in their season-opening 49-27 loss to Mercer.

Can NC State keep the good vibes going and put another notch in the Win column? Or will the Catamounts pull off a major upset in Raleigh?

Each BTP contributor provides their score prediction below, plus a quick blurb on their predicted outcome. Here we go!
