Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs NC State Wolfpack prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay chalk with the NC State Wolfpack, a team that’s had issues covering numbers lately. However, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have had issues finishing games in ACC play, and they’ve failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. NC State is the more talented team from top to bottom, and it’s hard to take Georgia Tech seriously, especially on the road, due to a lack of consistent shooting. It’s NC State and the chalk or pass for me.
