Here is the official preview for sports gamblers on the Florida State-North Carolina State contest on ESPN. The college football odds have FSU -11 with a total of 47.5.

Florida State is 4-1 straight up and 2-1 to the number, winning their last two against the Las Vegas betting line. They also went over the posted sportsbooks totals in both. NC State is 2-4 straight up, winning 3-of-4 and going over three straight.

FSU rushes for 5.9 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.8. While the Seminoles have struggled greatly over the last several years, it’s not because of their defense. They allow just 2.1 yards per carry and 5.3 passing yards per attempt.

The Wolfpack have been inept on each side of the ball getting 2.5 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 3.2. On the defensive side, they allow 4.8 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.0 and 7.5 yards per pass to teams normally getting 6.7. Overall they allow .8 more yards per play than their opponents’ normal average.

For those more into rankings than ratings, note this contest matches the top ranked total defense in rushing defense in the conference against a squad last in the ACC in rushing offense. In case the contextual clues didn’t help you, that benefits the Noles.

Florida State is just 5-4 straight up on Thursday nights all-time. That included snapping a 29-0 all-time mark in the ACC in their first appearance ever. Their last trip to Raleigh was on a Thursday night, losing to NC State 24-20.

The Wolfpack are 5-3 on Thursday night straight up. They have scored 10 or fewer points three times this year and gave up 24 or more every game, even to creampuff William & Mary.

The injury plagued Wolfpack have gotten good news during their bye week. Their best DL tackle Alan-Michael Cash is probable but their best defensive player Nate Irving is very questionable.
