North Carolina State Wolfpack Odds

North Carolina State Wolfpack Football

The Wolfpack had a better year than expected in 2020. After finishing 4-8 in 2019, they were able to bounce back to 8-4 last season, head coach Dave Doeren’s eighth with the team. Oddsmakers expect this teeter-totter to come down again this season, setting their win total at only six games.

Maybe redshirt sophomore QB Devin Leary will have something to say about that, though. Last year he was impressive in limited action, leading the Pack to a 4-1 record before breaking his fibula and missing the remainder of the season.

See all of the Wolfpack’s odds above, as well as their against-the-spread (ATS) performance, full schedule, team trends, depth charts, key injuries and much more.

Betting on NC State Wolfpack

NC State Spread

The Wolfpack were as successful against the spread as they were in overall record last year, with their 66.7% cover rate being very profitable for bettors.

For those unfamiliar, spread bets are a popular way to bet on football teams’ winning or losing margins. Books set a line to represent how much they expect a team to win or lose by. It might look something like this:

• NC State +2 (-110)
• Wake Forest -2 (-110)

The plus sign (+) means that NC State is a two-point underdog: It would “cover” the spread by winning the game or losing by a point. A two-point loss would be a tie and bettors on both sides would get their money back. Wake Forest, as a two-point favorite, would need to win by three or more to cover the spread.

NC State Over/Unders

Devin Leary was great for over bettors in 2020: In his four full games, the over cashed all four times.

Over/unders, or totals, are a way to bet on the total scoring by both teams in a game (or, less frequently, just on one team or the other.) For NC State’s game against Wake Forest, the total was set at 52. Since the teams combined for a whopping 97 points in the 45-42 victory by the Wolfpack, over bettors were winners. If you bet the under, you needed the teams to score 51 or fewer between them.

NC State Moneylines

If worrying about margins of victory and combined scoring seem like a hassle, moneyline bets are for you. Moneyline bets are very simple: pick the winning team. Since sportsbooks can’t adjust the number of points a side needs to win by, they adjust the payouts to account for the more probable victor.

In a game where the Wolfpack are underdogs, their odds could be +120. This means a $100 bet would generate $120 in profit with a win. In games where they are favored at -120, a $120 bet would be worth $100 in profit.

NC State Props

With leading rusher Zonovan Knight and leading receiver Emeka Emezie returning, NC State player props could be fun this year. Since most prop bets are based on skill position players, we have some known quantities to bet on this season.

Player props are a way to bet on an individual player statistic during the game, and they work like over/unders. You could bet on Knight to go over (or under) 79.5 rushing yards, for example, or do the same with Emezie catches at 4.5.

NC State Futures

If you’re convinced that a healthy Leary will lift the Wolfpack in 2020, consider betting on some of their futures. Futures bets are based on how the team does throughout the whole season, and there’s a variety of them available.

Some examples of these are over/under total wins during the season, odds to win the ACC, odds to win the national title, as well as futures bets on certain players.
