Miami vs NC State Over/Under Pick: Under 155
Although both Miami and NC State have the offensive playmakers and tempo to easily clear a mark of 155, we’ve seen these two teams play in some close, lower-scoring battles than normal of late. While the under has hit in four of Miami’s last games, it’s also hit in the last two games for NC State as well. I think we still see plenty of points, but I’m taking the under here in one of the night’s higher NCAAB lines.
Miami vs NC State ATS Pick: Backing NC State -3 vs Miami
NC State is rightfully getting some love publicly in this spot, and it’d be an ideal time for the Wolfpack to snap a three-game losing skid that’s dropped them to 13-7. All three of the losses came in ACC play, so a win over Miami would be a great spot to begin turning the tides.
Wolfpack gets a bit of a bump being at home in a game that they’ll almost certainly need. Although NC State has lost three straight, the two most recent came on the road against solid competition. I think NC State rights the ship here and pulls out a win while narrowly covering tonight’s college basketball spread.
Although I’m taking NC State to win the game and cover -3, the value in a potential moneyline play here really comes on Miami’s side. They’re +150 to win the game outright, a result that obviously isn’t out of the question or unrealistic. I don’t love the idea of either side on the moneyline play and would prefer to stick with better odds on the Wolfpack.
