• 2 min read

An ACC contest on Friday's college football schedule has the NC State Wolfpack flying cross country to take on the Stanford Cardinal.

The Cardinal (3-4, 1-3 ACC) are coming off a Week 7 win over Elon, which followed back-to-back 50-plus point defeats to Notre Dame and Wake Forest. Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:

Top Stanford vs. NC State predictions

After simulating Stanford vs. NC State 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 55.5 points at betting apps. Both teams hit the Under in their last respective contests, which came in Week 6 for NC State and Week 7 for Stanford. The Wolfpack have scored 15 points, total, in their last two road ACC games, and neither of those required as much travel as this trip from North Carolina to California. NC State is hoping to find its running game during this long flight as the team's averaged 2.0 yards per carry over its last two games.

Meanwhle, Stanford's offense as a whole is among the worst in the nation, with the team ranking 127th out of 138 FBS teams in scoring. The Cardinal have scored 7 or fewer points in four of their last five games against FBS opponents, and despite QB Davis Warren ranking fifth in the nation in pass attempts, he's just 30th in passing yards. The model calls for 54 combined points, with the Under hitting 53% of the time. See the model's NC State vs. Stanford spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
