Virginia Tech at North Carolina State 10/27/22 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The week nine college football schedule will kickoff on Thursday night with an ACC Conference clash between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the NC State Wolfpack. The Hokies (2-5) are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and are one of the lowest scoring teams in the country (19.4 ppg). Last time out, Virginia Tech was held scoreless for the first three quarters and outgained by 200 yards during a 20-14 home loss versus Miami.

Virginia Tech WR Malachi Thomas caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Grant Wells to cut the deficit to 20-7. Wells added a three-yard touchdown run for the Hokies, who managed just 257 yards of total offense.

The NC State Wolfpack came into this season expecting to challenge for a conference championship, but lost QB Devin Leary for the season with a torn pectoral. In their last game, NC State was limited to 255 yards of total offense during a 24-9 road victory against Syracuse. The Wolfpack (5-2) allowed the Orange to rush for six yards per carry and fell to 1-2 in conference play.

Dual-threat QB Jack Chambers started in place of Leary and completed 18-for-30 passes for 160 yards. Chambers added a team-high 58 rushing yards and Christopher Dunn nailed three field goals.

Virginia Tech has won five straight meetings in this series, including a 45-24 home victory last season. The Hokies last two conference road games resulted in 31 and 16 point losses. Look for the Wolfpack defense to have their way and cover at home. Final Score Prediction, NC State Wolfpack win 31-10.
