NC State vs Syracuse Betting Pick

ℹ️ The Pick:	NC State -1
? Recommended Sportsbook Promo:	First Bet on Caesars up to $1,250
? Promo Code:	ATSBONUSFULL

This game will be played at JMA Wireless Dome at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 14, 2023.

Why Bet On NC State:

✅ NC State has won nine of its last 11 games. Their lone losses during that stretch have come against North Carolina and Virginia, two teams with way higher ceilings than Syracuse. Expect the Wolfpack to keep playing at a high level here against a mediocre Syracuse squad.

✅ Syracuse is just 9-5 at home so far this season. Given that they schedule extremely lightly at home in non-conference play, that is not an encouraging sign at all. They will fall once again at home to NC State here.

NC State Wolfpack

The NC State Wolfpack enter this week’s action in the ACC as the 23rd ranked team in Division I men’s college basketball. They got back into the win column in their last game, beating Boston College to bounce back after losing to Virginia the game before. Here, they will look for a second win in a row to keep themselves in the top-25.

For NC State, the question in this game is whether they can get an efficient enough performance from Terquavion Smith to win this game. He leads the Wolfpack in scoring at 18.5 points per game, but he is shooting just 38.2% from the field on the season. He needs to deliver points without taking too many shots to help his team win this key contest.

Syracuse Orange

The Syracuse Orange find themselves in a familiar spot going into this week of ACC basketball action. They are 15-10 on the year, and are in a spot where they need to pile up wins late in the season to justify a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Here, they have a great chance to get an impressive win on their home floor as they face a ranked NC State team.

Whether the zone defense of Syracuse can play well enough to slow down NC State will determine how this game goes for the Orange. They have allowed under 70 points in two straight games, but have been torched by ACC opponents at times as well. It will take a Herculean defensive effort for the Orange to pull the upset at home and win this one.
