2014 Season Win Total Picks NCAA Football: 'Under'

New head coach Dave Doeren bottomed out with the Wolfpack last year, dumping eight straight games after an encouraging 3-1 start and posting the first winless league slate in over 50 years. They were outscored by an average of a touchdown per game and finished in the bottom half of c ollege football on both sides of the ball.

I suppose there's nowhere to go but up for N.C. State.

I'm not sure how improved this year's Wolfpack team will be. But they have a comically easy nonconference schedule that should help Doeren pass last year's win total before we flip the calendar to October. Kick in winnable home games against Boston College and Wake Forest and I don't think it is a stretch to see this team finagle five or six wins out of this campaign.

I would say to play N.C. State 'over' against this number. But if it hits 5.5 I would stay away completely.
