Florida State Seminoles quarterback Tommy Castellanos (1) celebrates a touchdown with offensive lineman Micah Pettus (57) during the second half against the Virginia Tech Hokies at Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Florida State Seminoles (5-5, 2-5 ACC) face the NC State Wolfpack (5-5, 2-4) Friday in Atlantic Coast Conference action. Kickoff from Wayne Day Family Field at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina, is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA football odds around the Florida State vs. NC State odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets.

The Noles rolled the Virginia Tech Hokies last week 34-14 as 14-point home favorites. QB Tommy Castellanos was 12-for-24 for 189 yards, 1 TD and no picks, while rushing 7 times for 45 yards and 2 scores. WR Duce Robinson had 6 catches for 134 yards and 1 TD. Before that game, they lost 4 of 5.

The Pack were slaughtered 41-7 at the Miami Hurricanes last week as 14.5-point dogs. They got down 24-0 at halftime, and QB CJ Bailey scored a meaningless touchdown on the ground with 2:18 to go in the fourth. Bailey was 17-for-30 for 120 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs. NC State is just 2-6 in its last 8 games.

These teams last met here Oct. 8, 2022, and NC State pulled out a 19-17 victory, failing to cover the 3-point spread.

Florida State at NC State picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida State 24, NC State 21

Moneyline

The Seminoles are winless on the road this season, but they possess the difference maker in this matchup in Castellanos. He's a true dual-threat under center with 12 TDs to 6 INTs through the air and 8 rushing TDs on the season. FSU finds a way to sneak out its first road win, but it's far too expensive on the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

Take NC STATE (+6.5 (-110). As mentioned, FSU is winless on the road, and NC State is 4-1 at home. The Wolfpack put up 48 points against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at home three weeks ago and should remain competitive.

Over/Under

The Wolfpack are 6-4 O/U and FSU is 5-5. The Noles have cashed 4 straight Unders and 5 of 6. That's where I'm leaning on this big total.

Give me UNDER 59.5 (-110).
