NC State vs. Miami Prediction and Odds: There Will Be No Shortage of Points in ACC Matchup
NC State has lost four of its last five games including its last three in a row, but it has a chance to get back in the win column tonight when the Wolfpack take on the Miami Hurricanes.
Miami has won five-straight games, and its looking like a team that could be in the mix for a spot in the NCAA Tournament by the time March rolls around. This will be the only meeting between these two teams this season. NC State is 0-1 in ACC play this season with a loss to Louisville, and Miami is 1-0 with a win over Clemson.

NC State vs. Miami Prediction and Pick
The OVER has hit at a high rate between these two teams this season, and for good reason. They're both much stronger offensively than defensively, and that's especially the case with Miami. The Hurricanes rank 93rd in the country in effective field goal percentage, but 291st in opponent effective field goal percentage.
Both teams also do a good job of not turning the ball over, which is crucial when it comes to playing in high-scoring games. Wasting possessions on turnovers is a quick way to waste potential opportunities for points. NC State ranks ninth in turnovers per possession, and Miami ranks 17th.
I expect this ACC matchup to have a plethora of points.
