Does Vegas know something about Sam Howell’s health that we don’t know? NC State being a touchdown favorite against the Tar Heels came as a bit of a surprise to me—it doesn’t feel like there’s that much difference between the two teams, though I’d be fine with being wrong.
Howell didn’t play in the Heels’ win over Wofford after suffering an injury at Pitt the week prior, but my understanding is that he’ll be ready to go against the Pack.
And UNC didn’t need him against Wofford, of course. The Heels won that game easily to improve to 6-5 heading into rivalry week.
