NC State welcomes a reeling Florida State squad to Raleigh as the two teams face on in a primetime slot on Saturday evening. The Seminoles are in the first year of a complete rebuild under Mike Norvell and have struggled of late, losing decisively to Louisville and Pitt since beating UNC (heh). The Wolfpack aren’t without struggles of their own, as the Pack defense has allowed four of seven opponents this season to top the 40-point mark.

Will NC State’s offense show the same life as a week ago in a near-upset of Miami and spring the Wolfpack back into the Win column? Or will Florida State find renewed energy and focus in Raleigh and pull off the road upset?

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