2025 NC State Wolfpack Week 2 Betting Lines
Week 1 saw the NC State Wolfpack host the East Carolina Pirates in a potentially perilous opener. Head coach Dave Doeren and his Wolfpack held on for an important win that Doeren hopes will set the tone for the 2025 campaign. This week, the Wolfpack will host their ACC opener against the Virginia Cavaliers. Head coach Tony Elliott is in a very warm seat that could soon be engulfed in flames. After three years on the job, he is 11-23 without a bowl berth or winning season. Thus, the pressure is already on. Last week, Virginia destroyed a respected Coastal Carolina program for an encouraging start.

NC State Wolfpack Weekly Recap
Last game, the NC State Wolfpack beat the East Carolina Pirates 24-17 as 13.5-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 51.
CJ Bailey ran and threw for first-half touchdowns. Still, North Carolina State needed a late defensive stand to secure a victory against visiting East Carolina in Thursday night’s season opener at Raleigh, N.C. Hollywood Smothers rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries as the Wolfpack avenged last December’s Military Bowl loss that included a late-game brawl.
Bailey was 24-for-34 for 318 yards with an interception and picked up another 21 yards on the ground. Wesley Grimes compiled 121 receiving yards on four catches with a touchdown.
East Carolina quarterback Katin Houser went 30-for-44 for 366 yards and a touchdown. NC State held the Pirates to just 30 rushing yards. Even though East Carolina scored the game’s final 10 points, Houser’s pass on fourth-and-1 inside the NC State 10-yard line in the final minute resulted in a loss of yardage, clinching the outcome.
The Wolfpack led 17-7 at halftime with a 252-132 advantage in total yards. They scored first in the second half on Smothers’ 2-yard run, completing a 10-play, 80-yard march.
East Carolina responded by going 72 yards, with Marlon Gunn Jr.’s 4-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter. Then the Pirates trimmed the deficit to 24-17 on Nick Mazzie’s 34-yard field goal at the 8:32 mark.
East Carolina’s final drive chewed up more than five minutes, but the Pirates couldn’t convert at the end. Earlier, NC State’s first drive of the game consumed 15 plays and covered 64 yards, resulting in Nick Koniecznski’s 29-yard field goal. On the next drive, Bailey ran 11 yards for the season’s first touchdown. Bailey threw 48 yards to Grimes, with the Wolfpack going up 17-0 less than four minutes into the second quarter.

The NC State Wolfpack has 11 conference championships. They have never won a national championship. Yet, Wolfpack fans continue to have an overinflated sense of what the program should be, considering its history, especially given that the last NC State conference championship was in 1979. The only season the Wolfpack finished ranked Top 10 was in 1974 under Lou Holtz. Chuck Amato produced the only double-digit win season in program history, leading the Wolfpack to an 11-3 mark in 2002.
Current head coach Dave Doeren is the winningest coach in NC State history. Since 2017, Doeren has produced five CFP Top 25 finishes. During his tenure that began in 2013, Doeren has produced eight bowl seasons.
Last year, Doeren pleaded with fans and donors to step up their efforts to help make NC State competitive on the NIL front. Playing in the ACC is a drag on an aspiring playoff program due to lower revenues. Time will tell if NC State goes all in to compete with the ACC’s elite, Clemson and Florida State.
