We start from the top and move our way down so keep checking in for more college football previews<\/strong><\/a> for the 2009-2010 NCAA Football Season!<\/p>\n Our 2009 NCAA Football Predictions – Teams | Analysis | Previews Online<\/strong><\/p>\n Coach:<\/strong> Tom O\u2019Brien NC State should feed off some continuity, after last year the program brought back only nine starters (one of the lowest marks in the conference).<\/p>\n North Carolina St. Gambling Odds from Betus.com to win BCS: +10000<\/strong><\/p>\n Coach O\u2019Brien, by all accounts, should start hitting his groove in his third season wearing the headset; though he has formidable opponents (Clemson, FSU) to deal with in his division, the Wolfpack will be a vastly improved team in 2009. Quarterback Russell Wilson has quickly established himself as one of the top signal-callers in the ACC. He threw just under 2,000 yards and only threw one pick in 2008 (in 275 attempts) and he also offers a running threat. He\u2019ll guide an offense with some experience, and though leading rusher Andre Brown is gone, State has always had size and depth at tailback. Look for Brandon Barnes and Toney Baker to play more of a role this season.<\/p>\n Willie Young, Nate Irving and DeAndre Morgan stand out on the defense, and aside from that trio there is game-savvy and a few highly-touted starters mixed in.<\/p>\n Team Strengths<\/strong> Intriguing, strong-armed redshirt frosh Mike Glennon backs up Wilson in case the disastrous happens.<\/p>\n Team Weaknesses<\/strong> In addition to improved units across the board, the Wolfpack are assisted by a friendly schedule. They have eight home games in \u201909 and they only heart-palpitations really show up on Oct. 31 at Florida State and Nov. 21 at Virginia Tech (who is now missing RB Darren Evans for the season \u2013 huge).<\/p>\n This \u2018Tobacco Road\u2019 team won\u2019t go unbeaten by any stretch, but the win ledger will be beefed up and they could surprise their way into contention.<\/p>\n Check in with CappersPicks.com Best NCAA Football Sportsbook<\/strong><\/a> Review daily for exclusive College gambling bonus specials, and betting promotions.

\nAn efficient offense led by Wilson probably heads the list. Last year\u2019s two leading receivers, Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams, both return and while Wilson might not put up Peyton Manning-like numbers, he will not make many mistakes.<\/p>\n
\nThe offensive line has been underwhelming to this point, which is surprising because O\u2019Brien is notorious for crafting NFL-calibre front lines. Seniors Ted Larsen and Andy Barbee will have to step up if this unit is going to pave the way for Baker and Barnes. Protecting the QB is much more of an issue if Glennon is under center instead of Wilson.<\/p>\n2009 NC State Wolfpack Record Prediction: 9-4<\/h3>\n
