NC State is 6.5-point underdogs against No. 5 Clemson. The game will define the season for NC State. An upset win would put them in the driver's seat in ACC Atlantic Division and in contention for a spot in College Football Playoff. Josh Pate is calling for an update in this conference. He thinks the ACC is lopsided. If NC state loses to Clemson, they will trail them by a game and a half. They have a home-field advantage baked into the odds. It's important to note that the line is under a touchdown. This is the spot to take them down. if NCState does, it can take control of their own destiny.
