Toy, what's your thoughts on NCst/GT. I was thinking about doing a ML parlay w/ NCst and Oklahoma but I wanted to get your opinion on the game.
Thanks and Good Luck
think you were reading my mind :142lmao: ...
NC STATE (4-4, 3-3) vs. GEORGIA TECH (4-3, 3-3)
Turnovers....Turnovers.....Turnovers :moon:
The One word that has plagued the Pack all season long. Maybe you could throw in Injuries as well :142lmao: ....The Packs O-Line is no where close to the starting 5 of the season...Few dumb illegal procedure calls took back TD's last weekend
...didn't matter, State did not deserve that game...Defense still played above average....Offense showed signs of life, but still needs alot of improvement
The loss last week makes the last 3 that more important for the Pack....they have to have 2 of the 3 and maybe all 3 if they want a guaranteed Bowl this post season...The only good was that the Terps and the Heels took out the top teams to make the ACC a closer conference :clap:
GT played a good game weekend, but forgot to play the 4th quarter...was out and was surprised to see thier collapse...reminded of the Pack in a way :moon: ...it was a good defensive matchup until that final quarter
Now on to this weekend's game
The one small stat the I saw that was interesting
was that the Yellow Jackets are 4-0 this season in games Daniels has finished and 0-3 when he's on the bench. As of the moment he is listed as doubtful....
Both the Pack and the Jackets have game-makers on the offensive....really like GT's WR Calvin Johnson....remember watching the Clemson game and he was unstoppable...Pack has a decent running game now and should try to exploit that in this game
But I see both defenses as real good....from gopack: NOTES: NC State leads the ACC and ranks third in the nation in total defense, allowing just 238.1 yards per game. The Wolfpack is second in the nation in pass defense (129.4) and 22nd in rushing defense (108.8). Both teams have struggled with turnovers. Tech has committed 19 turnovers, while the Wolfpack has 23 turnovers, including six in last week's to Clemson. In its four wins, NC State has only 5 turnovers.
Georgia Tech has won eight of the last nine games against NC State to take a 15-8 lead in the series, which began in 1918 with a 128-0 Rambling Wreck victory. The Wolfpack's only win in the last nine meetings was a 30-23 overtime thriller in Raleigh in 2000.
The Pack need this game for many reasons....revenge being one of them....but for me that line is off....the Pack should not be 7.5 favorites....maybe a 4 to 5 point favorite, but in no sense of the word are the Pack that much better than the Jackets....what I really like in this game is the Under....both teams have above average defenses and i see a low scoring affair
:scared INJURIES--NC State: C Jed Paulsen-Out, ankle surgery; OT Merci Falaise-Out, knee; OT Derek Morris-Doubtful, high ankle sprain; C/OG Leroy Harris-Out, shoulder sprain; QB Marcus Stone-Questionable, knee sprain; TB T.A. McLendon-Probable, shoulder sprain; WR Richard Washington-Out, knee sprain; LB LeRue Rumph-Probable, concussion. :scared
Georgia Tech:TB P.J. Daniels-Doubtful, knee.
Pack 20 GT 17
Playing: Pack/GT UNDER 40.5 (-107)
fatback...think the tease is a better idea than playing them straight up...gl on your play!!
