College Football Predictions and Picks

NC State at Virginia (Sat, 3:30 p.m. ET)

Virginia -4.5 (-105)

A modest home favorite with Virginia's own yardage total sitting higher than NC State's (391.5 to 363.5), a small but real edge on paper that lines up with the number.

Jekail Middlebrook Anytime Touchdown (-155)

Middlebrook is the shortest price on the entire anytime touchdown board, well ahead of both starting quarterbacks — a genuine sign the ground game is expected to do real work in this one.

Over 51.5 (-106)

Both team totals sit comfortably in the 20s, and with two competent starting quarterbacks throwing for a combined 450-plus yards on their individual lines, this projects as a genuine back-and-forth scoring affair.
