NC State is eager to hit the field against Virginia for the first time in two seasons as the Wolfpack waited nine days between its opener and the Week 2 clash this fall.  But before the game, it’s time to post five bold predictions for this weekend’s game. We will check on how they did ahead of next weekend’s home date with Virginia, a non-conference matchup. Looking back at last week’s bold predictions, we only got one of the five predictions correct. Other than that, it wasn’t a great week in the prediction department. It’s time to rebound against the Cavaliers.
