CLEMSON (-13.5) @ North Carolina State
2Unit
I don't think there's any need to complicate this punt, it's pretty easy to look at this match up straight up and down. Clemson are a force, while Nth Carolina are not. My only reservation is the Thursday Night Football Factor. But you gotta play the game yo. The following came from the ESPN game preview;
Tajh Boyd set a conference record with eight total touchdowns in a wild offensive showcase when he faced the Wolfpack 10 months ago, a dazzling display new N.C. State coach Dave Doeren doesn't want to see again Thursday night in Raleigh.
Clemson put up 754 yards -- two off a school record -- when they last met.
N.C. State put up 597 yards of total offense last season at Clemson, but 493 came through the air from Mike Glennon -- the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' third-round pick.
The Wolfpack's less-experienced 2013 offense is much more of a work in progress. Colorado State transfer Pete Thomas has thrown three picks without a touchdown in his first two starts, and N.C. State's leading rusher (Matt Dayes) and receiver (Marquez Valdes-Scantling) are both true freshmen.

NC State overcame four turnovers to beat FCS program Richmond (rubbish!) 23-21 on Sept. 7 after trailing by double digits.
Last season Boyd threw for 16 TDs with five picks while going 3-1 on the road, picking up 10.2 yards per throw while posting a 184.7 passer rating -- both the best in the nation.

I don't care if this is a square play. I can't see one reason why Clemson won't win convincingly here. Two units.
