What the data says

NC State don't have a strong public-vs-money pattern this season. Across the 2 games we've tracked, the average bet percentage on NC State is 44.5% and the average money percentage is 55.0%. Those are middle-of-the-pack numbers — bettors are split, dollars follow the bet count, and the line generally reflects the matchup rather than the public lean.

Sample size is a real consideration: 2 games is not enough to call a season-long pattern. The "heavy fade target" or "heavy public favorite" labels we apply to other teams require at least 5 games of data and a meaningful directional lean — neither applies here yet.

Watch the per-game splits below. Even balanced teams have individual games with meaningful divergence — that's where the daily roundups come in. See our methodology →.

Frequently asked questions

Where does this college football team betting data come from?

From publicly reported sportsbook handle, captured on a sub-hourly cadence for every FBS game from the moment a line is posted. The team figures use each game's closing snapshot — the last read before kickoff — so every number reflects what a bettor could actually have known.

What is the NC State ATS record this season?

NC State are 1-1 against the spread in the games where we have a closing split. That's the number that matters for a bettor — a team can win every Saturday by three touchdowns and still lose money for the people laying four.

How do NC State do against the spread when they're a public favorite?

When 60% or more of spread tickets land on NC State, they're 0-1 ATS this season. Books shade college lines toward the side they know the public wants, and on a board full of mismatches that shade is often the whole story.

Why do the games tracked not match the NC State schedule?

A game counts only when it has a final score, a closing spread and a published split. An FCS opponent the source never priced, or a game whose splits were not captured before kickoff, is left out rather than guessed at.

What is the record for fading NC State when the public is on them?

1-0 ATS this season — the mirror of their public-favorite record, because the fade covers exactly when the public side doesn't. It's shown as a record rather than a recommendation; a handful of games is not a pattern.

What is a public favorite? A public favorite is the side drawing 60% or more of the betting tickets on a given game. When the money percentage trails the bet percentage on that side, it's a signal that smaller, casual bets are stacking up there — and the larger bets are on the other side. See our methodology →.
