2024 Week 7 Predictions - NC State vs Syracuse

It really sucks not being hyped for a primetime blackout game. I always look forward to those, and the crowd is usually quite hyped. Then Dave Doeren said some not choice words about the crowd not standing on third down and one really hopes he doesn't turn the whole dang building against him. He might not have been wrong, but Dave, bro, this is not the time. You're not out in these Twitter streets like we are. But also, maybe not everyone in Carter-Finley is as chronically online as we are, and maybe that's a good thing. Here's hoping for a great night at the Carter with great vibes all around.


Speaking of vibes, I skipped the vibe check this week. There are precisely zero vibes. None. 0 🐺 / out of 5. There, that's your vibe check.


Anyhoo, as we do every week, our crew put their best guesses to paper to say how they think the game will turn out:

This was 77.4% - 22.6% in NC State's favor in the preseason. Oh how the turntables...

Syracuse can actually kind of do some stuff on offense, so could be ugly.

Why the hell not? Last week I almost picked the Pack to lose but I didn't want to be the one hater with everyone assuming they'd beat the lowly Deacs. But now? There's no pressure, just go out there and ball, live your best lives, everyone, you made it to 2024 and the season is almost over.

Ripken is a good dog. So is Tuffy. The goodest dogs

Joel Seagle

Too many problems to fix, and a pretty good Syracuse team spells another loss. We are sinking like a stone.

Jackson Williford

23-41 (L)

I predict sadness. And an over. But not because State is doing most of the scoring.


So, what do you think will happen this week? Let us know in the comments below, and respond in the poll with your pick!

The AI images were just too good this week.


The cover image is even better than the Dune 2 popcorn bucket. This depiction is...visceral...And yet feels like what we can expect Saturday night. That orange is getting that wolf one way or another, and it's going to enjoy it.

The poll image went in a different direction. This is an anthropomorphic orange who has already finished his delectable wolf meal, savoring it down to its very bones. And yet, the orange is not satisfied. It's looking for more... It craves more. The bones imply that many in the Pack have been consumed, but the orange is not done, his ravenous appetite can not be contained...
