The NC State Wolfpack traveled to Berkeley, California for the first time in this cross-country ACC matchup. It is uncertain whether QB Grayson McCall will be able to play due to a head injury he suffered in the loss at Wake Forest. QB CJ Bailey took over and completed 28 of 42 passes for 272 yards, 2 touchdowns and a pick in relief. McCall also missed the 24-17 loss to Syracuse while slipping to 0-7 against the spread (ATS). The under has won money in 2 of the last 3 games if you are interested in a possible same game parlay.

Cal has a strong defense – allowing just 333.7 total yards, 216.5 passing yards, 117.2 rushing yards and 17.8 points per game. These numbers would be even more impressive if it weren't for the controversial and debilitating 39-38 loss to Miami. Last week, Pitt suffered a 17-15 loss in another low-scoring game. In fact, California is 5-1 in the minors. Given the uncertainty under center for NC State and Cal's lockdown defense, as well as concerns about the long flight from Raleigh to Oakland, it's the under's turn in this battle. In fact, it was quite surprising to see that number in the mid-40s.
