Pick

I’m sticking with Florida State and the points here. I think that NC State likely wins this game, but Florida State has a history of beating on the Wolfpack and that has to give them some hope here. NC State’s been winning games but they’ve been winning close ones more often than not and I think we’re in for another tight one here. Give me the Seminoles and the points here.
