Richmond at NC State Pick: Under 50.5 — College Football Pick

Why We Like It

NC State returns home after producing only 168 yards and eight points against Virginia. The Wolfpack should improve against Richmond, but the current total demands a much larger offensive rebound than NC State has demonstrated.

Richmond’s early offensive success came against FCS competition and should be discounted against ACC personnel. If NC State controls the game, second-half clock management and reserve usage also favor the Under.

The Number

The total opened at 48.5 and has risen to 50.5. DraftKings is offering the Under at -102, providing both the best number and reduced juice.

Market Context

The move toward the Over has created the better Under entry. We prefer taking 50.5 at the favorable price before the outlier disappears.

The Risk

The primary danger is NC State’s overwhelming talent advantage producing short fields, defensive scores or a one-sided offensive breakout. A quick Richmond score could also force a faster game than expected.

FSP Verdict

Under 50.5 (-102)
1 Unit | ★★★☆☆

We are taking the improved total and favorable price in a matchup with a credible slow-game script.

BET WISELY.
