The new college football season is nearly back, with a handful of Week 0 games set for this weekend. One of these games will feature an ACC matchup between the NC State Wolfpack and the Virginia Cavaliers. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Wolfpack and the Cavaliers.

NC State enters this game having finished 8-5 in 2025-2026. The Wolfpack were overall a disappointing team last season, as they were middle of the pack in the ACC. They were, however, able to end the season on a strong note, as they beat the Memphis Tigers in the UnionHome Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. 

As for Virginia, they enter this game having finished 11-3 in 2025-2026. The Cavaliers had an excellent season; however, they missed their chance to make the College Football Playoffs, as they lost the ACC Championship to a mediocre Duke team. Despite that loss, the Cavaliers ended the season with a win in their bowl game and once again looked to be a threat in the ACC.

Our Virginia Cavaliers vs NC State Wolfpack Prediction

Virginia is the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. These two teams met last year early in the season in what was an unusual ‘non-conference game’. Regardless, it was NC State that won the game by a score of 35-31. Despite that, the Cavaliers still ended up being one of the more consistent teams in the country, going on a seven-game winning streak following the loss to the Wolfpack.

This year, the game will be played in Virginia, where the Cavaliers were 6-1 SU last season, while NC State was just 1-4 SU on the road. Even with their failure in the ACC Championship last season, Virginia looks to be the better overall team. For that reason, our NC State Wolfpack vs Virginia Cavaliers prediction is: Virginia Cavaliers ML.
