These are our game-by-game predictions for the NC State football team for the upcoming 2018 season.

The expectations are high for the NC State football team and they will be hoping to be the first team since 2009 not named Clemson or Florida State to represent the division in the ACC Championship Game.

The team certainly has the talent with quarterback Ryan Finley and a deep wide receiver group with Kelvin Harmon, Steph Louis and Jakobi Meyers. This group has a chance to be one of the best offenses in the ACC this upcoming season.

The questions for the Wolfpack lie on the defensive side of the ball. The team saw their entire defensive line head to the NFL and they will now be tasked in replacing an excellent group.

One of the reasons the drop in production may not be too severe is because the depth behind last year’s starters has experience. Pass rushers like Darian Roseboro and James Smith-Washington was able to get snaps last year and that should help this season.

These are our predictions on how the season will play out for the NC State football team in 2018.
