Butler Bulldogs vs NC State Wolfpack: Prediction
The over is 6-1 in the Wolfpack's last 7 games played at a neutral venue. They are over 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. There have been no recent meetings between the two teams but the competition looks to be really tight.
The Wolfpack is a very strong team offensively but the Bulldogs are not far behind. Butler's defense is better compared to NC State's defense. Other statistics are also very close to each other so there is not a lot of difference between the two teams. Expect a close contest nevertheless.
