The line on the East Carolina Pirates vs. NC State Wolfpack was coming in at North Carolina State -7, up from -6.
The Wolfpack and Pirates face each other in the Military Bowl on Saturday in Annapolis, Maryland then kick off the 2025 season against one another.
“Hour and a half down the road and you're playing — whether you play every year or don't play every year — I think it's still a rivalry," East Carolina coach Blake Harrell said. "Our fans still get excited. They still think that's a rivalry. Our players still think that's a rivalry.”
NC State leads the series 19-13 and has won three straight — but East Carolina won three in a row before that.
“It's weird playing a team that we open with next year,” Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said. “We don't play them that much. We play them every three years, so it's really a roster turnover. Every time we see them, it's a different ballclub for the most part. But yeah, finishing with who you open with is unique.”
