#313/314 ASA 8* PLAY ON OVER 60 Points – NC State @ Virginia, Saturday at 12:00 PM ET
Virginia only scored 23 points last week but that was against Clemson! In fact, the Cavaliers moved the ball very well in that game and had 25 first downs and over 400 yards of offense. The Cavs were done in by two interceptions but that was an impressive effort against one of the best teams/defenses in the nation. Virginia entered that game off a 38-point outburst in a win over Duke. We like what we have seen from the Cavaliers offense early this season. The issue for the Cavs here will not be on offense however. It will be on defense where Virginia has concerns as they try to stop NC State. The Wolfpack are off an upset win at Pittsburgh last week. The Panthers have a very strong defense and their defensive line causes a lot of disruption and yet NC State managed to put up 30 points in their outright win as a two touchdown underdog. The Wolfpack have averaged 33 points per game in their first 3 games this season. However, the NC State defense has issues as they have allowed an average of 39 points per game this season. The key for the Wolfpack is an explosive offense and they got Leary back last week after he missed the first game and only played part of the second game of the season. Leary had over 300 yards passing versus a tough Panthers defense plus threw for the game winning TD (his 4th of the game!) with under a minute to go in the contest. This Wolfpack offense, especially with Leary back under center, is loaded with confidence right now. Even without him they scored plenty in their first two games this season. The issue for NC State here is they have injury issues on defense (a number of them) and are on the road for this one and we just don't see Virginia having any problems scoring in this game. Leary stays hot for the NC State offense but the Cavaliers have been balanced on offense and will keep an injury-depleted Wolfpack defense on its heels. Per our computer math modeling, both teams are likely getting into the 30’s in this one and that means an OVER here!
