South Carolina vs. N.C. State
TV/Time: ESPN, 3 EST (Sep. 2nd)
Line: N.C. State (-5)
Breakdown: N.C. State is coming off a 7-6 season with a lot of buzz. Some are predicting the Wolfpack to win their division, while others (chiefly Cole Cubelic of the SEC Network) have picked them to make it to the playoff. South Carolina is coming off a surprising 2016 season that saw them go 6-6 and get bowl eligibility in Will Mushcamp’s first year as head coach. The Gamecocks should have a potent offense, but how will they match up with the Wolfpack’s defensive line?
Nathanael’s pick: N.C. State
Will’s pick: N.C. State
Mason’s pick: South Carolina
Ben’s pick: N.C. State
