  • NC State are 7-1-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • Kansas State are 1-3-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of NC State’s last 10 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the two teams

NC State Form

NC State enter the Pop-Tarts Bowl having won their last five games to finish the regular season 9-3.

The Wolfpack went 4-3 over their first seven games, with two of those defeats coming against ranked teams.

They were beaten 45-24 at home by #10 Notre Dame in September, and then lost 24-3 at #17 Duke in October.

NC State rebounded well from that second loss though, beating Clemson 24-17 and Miami FL 20-6 at home.

The Wolfpack then went out on the road to beat Wake Forest 26-6 and Virginia Tech 35-28, before returning home to win their regular season finale, beating North Carolina 39-20.

Kansas State Form

Kansas State lost two of their last four games of the regular season to settle for a record of 8-4.

The Wildcats began the season ranked, but fell out of the rankings as they lost two of their first five games.

They rallied in October as they followed up a 38-21 win at Texas Tech with a 41-3 blowout of TCU and a 41-0 demolition of Houston.

Kansas State then ran #7 Texas close in a 33-30 loss, and quickly rebounded from that loss with a 59-25 victory over Baylor and a 31-27 win at Kansas.

The Wildcats failed to make it three-in-a-row to close out the regular season, losing 42-35 at home to Iowa State.

Verdict

NC State are on a roll and covered consistently throughout October and November.

That makes them an appealing underdog against a Kansas State team who are without their regular starting quarterback.
