Louisville vs. N.C. State Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for College Football Week 9

North Carolina State was handed its first ACC loss last week in Miami, but it is still in the mix in the ACC Coastal division. The Wolfpack first must take care of business against Louisville at home in Week 9 action before focusing on the conference title.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals knocked off Boston College at home and sit 4-3 on the year, can they keep up with the tough defense of the Wolfpack?

Louisville vs. North Carolina State Prediction and Pick

The Wolfpack are the type of team I'm trying to back off of a loss. A lot of unforced errors contributed to the one point loss to Miami last week, but this is a veteran team that still has their whole season in front of them.

Louisville's offense relies completely on quarterback Malik Cunningham to do everything. He is sixth amongst quarterback's in rush yards and gives the team explosive plays with both his arms and legs.

However, NC State is top 10 in defensive success rate, allowing 3.12 yards per carry and are 14th in the country in defensive line yards. On top of that, the team is allowing opponents to convert less than 27% of their third down conversions.

I make NC State nine-point favorite; I'm not fazed by the loss to the Hurricanes last week and expect them to bottle up Cunningham and the Louisville offense.

Louisville's defense does a terrible job up front, outside the top 100 in defensive line yards, and I expect State to pound the rock with Zonovan 'Bam' Knight and Ricky Person Jr. to win by double digits.

Pick: North Carolina State -6.5
