It’s <\/span><\/font>South Carolina<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and NC State on national television. The ESPN college football point spreads<\/a> has North Carolina<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> -5. Sportsbooks<\/a> have the total at 46. <\/p>\n

Here is the handicapping preview for winning compiled by the best professional handicappers<\/a>.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The USC Gamecocks have a recent history of getting out of the gate much quicker. When the teams met last year to open the season, NC State got shutout 10-0. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

South Carolina<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> has won nine straight openers and head coach<\/span><\/span> Steve Spurrier is 18-1 straight up in season-opening games. <\/p>\n

The old ball coach claims he will stick with one quarterback tonight: sophomore Stephen Garcia. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Two starters on USC’s<\/span><\/span> front four are suspended: Clifton Geathers<\/span><\/span> and Ladi<\/span><\/span> Ajiboye<\/span><\/span>. NC State also has a strong defensive front, but is very young at LB and defensive backs. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The Wofpack<\/span> lost one of their best linebackers in June, when Nate<\/span> Irving suffered serious injuries in a car accident. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Couch potatoes will want to note that it’s<\/span> Erin Andrews returning to the sidelines for the first time since she was secretly videotaped nude in a hotel room. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The four starters in NC State’s secondary have a combined 14 starts. DeAndre<\/span> Morgan is out with an ankle injury. He would be the most experienced if healthy. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Against the spread records: The Wolfpack are 7-0 on grass, but 7-19 their last 26 as a favorite. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
