NC State closes its two-game homestand with FCS foe Campbell visiting Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday afternoon (2 p.m., ACCNX), the first-ever meeting between the two programs.  But before the Camels and Wolfpack face off, it’s time to post five bold predictions for this weekend’s game. We will check to see how they did ahead of next weekend’s road trip to Notre Dame. Looking back at last week’s edition, I got two of the five correct as graduate outside linebacker Cian Slone logged his first sack of his NC State career, while the Wolfpack’s special teams unit managed to avoid a major mistake in the 23-21 loss to Virginia Tech.
