The read
NC State's elite offense (top 20 AdjOE) meets Louisville's weak defense (sub-90 AdjDE). NC State's exceptional ball security (low turnover rate) will allow them to maximize possessions against a Louisville team that struggles to force turnovers. This efficiency mismatch, compounded by NC State's road experience, favors a cover.
