Wake Forest vs NC State Prediction & Pick
Absolutely nothing went right for the Demon Deacons on Saturday. The turnovers came from all over the place, but it was quarterback Sam Hartman who really struggled for the first time this year. He completed just 20 of his 35 pass attempts for 271 yards, 1 touchdown and 3 costly interceptions.
This isn't exactly a matchup Hartman can exploit, either. NC State is allowing the fewest points (17.4) and the fourth-fewest passing yards per game (195.3) in ACC play this season. The Wolfpack are also 15-0 straight up in their last 15 home games, so I'm backing them to earn a conference victory here.
Final Score Predic tion:'Wake Forest: 24 | NC State: 28

Wake Forest vs NC State Best Bet
As mentioned above, Hartman is going to have a hard time finding his open receivers on S aturday. It's also worth mentioning that on the other side, Morris is facing a Wake Forest defense that has been much more generous, allowing 233.5 passing yards per game. There's a ton of value in backing the underdog here.
Wake Forest has not won in Carter-Finley Stadium since 2006 and NC State is 6-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last seven home games against its conference foe. The crowd noise is definitely going to make an impact in this one and cause the Demon Deacons to make a few impactful mistakes late.
