THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL BETTING

The North Carolina followers are asking for a shake up in the program after starting the season 1-2 and 0-2 in conference play. Head coach Chuck Amato is on the hot seat, especially after losing to the Tar Heels. The Wolf Pack has started the season with a close loss to the Hokies of Virginia Tech, 20-16. The fans of the program and the program itself are hungry for a win against a division 1-A opponent. Although the Wolfpack have been tough as a road under over the last few years, that success has not come against conference opponents. NC State is 3-14 against conference foes over the last three seasons. Most of those were as favorites as the victory margin for the opponent is only 1.7 points. The Wolfpack is riding an ACC worst six game straight up losing streak against conference opponents. Look for the Wolfpack to put out a maximum effort against the Yellow Jackets and make this a hard hitting battle.

Georgia Tech finds itself in a familiar situation, playing on national television on a Thursday Night. The Yellow Jackets have played thirteen straight years on Thursday Night in front of the entire country. GT is 3-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play. Where as GT does not have its back against the wall like NC State, The Yellow Jacket have dominated the Wolf pack as of late wining 10 of the last 13 meetings straight up and covering 10 of the last 12 meetings by the point spread. GT did beat North Carolina easily 27-21.

Both defense are very capable and should be ready for the opponent's offense. The weather calls for rain throughout most of the day with some strong winds into the evenings. With everything said, I believe that this will be a dog fight between two teams that are looking to bounce back from tough defeats the weak before. Make sure you tune in and watch this emotional conference match up.
