Prediction
Clemson is labeled the huge favorite in this matchup, but looking at Wake Forest to cover may be the better option. The Demon Deacons are coming off an upset win over NC State and have been competitive in most of their games this season. Other than Ole Miss, Wake Forest’s other two losses were by a combined four points, including a one-point loss against Virginia early in the season.
This will only be Clemson’s second road game of the season and last week against Florida State, they allowed them to hang around for most of the game. Therefore, considering that Wake Forest has looked better than Florida State this season, especially in conference games, backing the Demon Deacons to cover will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Wake Forest Demon Deacons +20 (-110)
