Yellow Jackets will host the North Carolina State Wolfpack in an ACC showdown.The Yellow Jackets started out their conference schedule with a 30-24 win over North Carolina last week, while the Wolfpack powered past Cincinnati to move to 3-0 on the season. This will be the first conference game for North Carolina State.If you are interested in betting on the game, the college football odds currently have Georgia Tech favored by 8.5-points over North Carolina State. NC State (3-0)It has been quite the start for the Wolfpack this season, as they havencame out of the gates like this since Philip Rivers was their starting quarterback. This time around the Wolfpack are 3-0 thanks to the strong play of junior quarterback Russell Wilson, who completed 26 of 40 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns against Cincinnati last week.It was the second time Wilson threw for more than 300 yards this season. The Wolfpack had no trouble moving the ball against the Bearcats last week.

the ground, while D.J. Woods had a big day catching the football, as he hauled in six passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns.Armon Binns also had a nice day with six catches for 95 yards. The Wolfpack defense also played a great game, as Cincinnati scored two late touchdowns when the game was out of reach to make it look closer than what it really was. Georgia Tech (2-1)It is no secret what the Yellow Jackets are going to do when they have the football, but the problem is finding a way to stop it. Georgia Tech comes in the game this weekend with the third-best rushing attack in the country, as they average 345 yards a game on the ground.The Yellow Jackets average just 68 yards passing, but many times they run the ball so much that when they do pass it goes for big gains.Last week against North Carolina quarterback Joshua Nesbitt completed three of four passes for an average of 19 yards per completion, including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Roddy Jones. Nesbitt however did most of his damage on the ground, as he finished second on the team with 104 yards and a touchdown.Running back Anthony Allen led the way with 115 yards on 20 carries. It will be interesting to see how effective the run is this week, as the Wolfpack have not allowed a team to run for over a 100 yards all season. Looking at the OddsI think the right bet is on NC State with the 8.5 points, as I have a good feeling they are going to be able to at least slow down the Georgia Tech rushing attack in this game.NC State is strong enough on offense Reebok Pittsburg Steelers #83 Heath Miller Realtree camo Jersey
that they can put enough points on the board that they should have no problem covering the spread, in fact I think they have an excellent shot at winning this game.My final score prediction is NC State 27, Georgia Tech 24.
