Virginia Cavaliers vs NC State Wolfpack prediction

The Virginia Cavaliers are coming off a couple of shaky performances and their offense has taken a bit of a step back. The NC State Wolfpack are coming off a last second win over Notre Dame, which could be a shot in the arm in terms of confidence. Sure, it’s Notre Dame, but it’s the same Irish squad that waxed Virginia last week. NC State at home. I’ll lay the bucket.
