Auburn vs NC State Prediction
I’m on NC State here. I get that Auburn’s at home here and that building can be a tough place to go on the road and compete. However, the Wolfpack are a legit team, and have a huge coaching edge with Will Wade over Steven Pearl. I think this is a spot where NC State shows up and battles hard against what I feel is an overrated Auburn team. Give me NC State and the points.
