The unbeaten Mountaineers visit a 1-2 Wolfpack team, but their latest games do not establish value at the supplied prices.
Appalachian State visits the NC State Wolfpack in Raleigh on Sept. 26, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU. App State’s official recap confirms the upcoming college football matchup.
The Mountaineers enter 3-0 after beating Charlotte 26-21. Malachi Singleton completed 28 of 42 passes for 331 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. That production is a positive from their latest outing, but one performance does not establish how effectively they will attack NC State.
App State also allowed a comfortable lead to shrink. It held a 26-7 advantage midway through the fourth quarter before Charlotte rallied. Darrin Fugitt recovered the ensuing onside kick to help secure the victory.
NC State fell to 1-2 with a 35-31 loss at Vanderbilt on Sept. 19. The Wolfpack led 17-0 in the first half and 31-28 in the final seconds. CJ Bailey then fumbled in the end zone on an attempted clock-running play, and Vanderbilt recovered for the winning touchdown. The late turnover explains the decisive score; it does not establish how NC State will perform against App State.
SportsJaw lists NC State at -575 on the moneyline and -13.5 (-110) on the spread. Appalachian State is +400 on the moneyline and +13.5 (-108). Those prices make NC State the favorite, but the recent results alone do not demonstrate value on either team.
The total is 55, with over 55 (-110) and under 55 (-110). App State’s passing output and the teams’ latest scores provide limited context, without establishing a reliable scoring expectation for this matchup. Neither direction has a sufficiently supported case.
Pass. App State’s unbeaten record and NC State’s costly finish are relevant context, but neither settles the price question. With no supported betting edge, there is no winner selection or projected score.
