<\/p>\nCollege betting Expert John Venezia dives into an ACC matchup on Good Friday, proving his best play between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and NC State Wolfpack.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
This weekend is a little bit weird considering a lot of the series started on Thursday. It’s not strange to see a few kick off early, but it definitely is strange to have over two dozen start. That’s thrown the weekend off a little bit from lines being released, so we will have to make due.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thursday was a good little slate for me, hitting some nice plus money bangers, including Boston College at +250. Let’s keep it rolling for Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Somehow, NC State always finds a way to hang around or surpass expectations during the regular season. Despite being cut last week from the Top 25, the Wolfpack remains a formidable opponent. After taking Game 1 on Thursday, they could seal up the series on Friday. The only problem is the man standing in their way.\u00a0<\/p>\n My favorite line to write is ,”If you have followed me since (or long enough) then…” But the truth is the same thing applies again. If you have followed me since the beginning of the year, then you’ll know how special Jack Radel<\/a> is pitching. Sporting a 2.41 ERA and astonishing 54 K:7 BB ratio in 41 innings, Radel is pitching his way right into the first-round this summer. Going on normal rest, he is set up to even the score against a relentless NC State program.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before this weekend’s series started, NC State had lost five straight ACC games against FSU and Georgia Tech. Still, I wouldn’t underestimate them. They demonstrate a balanced offense between hit (.310 avg), power 43 (HR), and speed (61 SB). The Pack may not have the star power like they did a few years ago, but these wolves can still hunt. Rett Johnson leads the way (.416 avg, 1.069 OPS) with Luke Nixon (.358 avg, 1.001 OPS, 3 HR – son of Trot Nixon), and Chris McHugh (.347 avg, 1.003 OPS, 7 HR) setting the rest of the tempo. Of course, Ty Head has also contributed a team-leading eight bops and 17 steals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
