Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Army Black Knights Best Bet

Wake Forest -3.5

Wake Forest has had some close calls this season, which is why many think their perfect start is fraudulent. Last week they needed overtime to beat a Syracuse team that is just mediocre. On the season, Wake is just 2-4 ATS.

But what the Demon Deacons can do is score. They are averaging 38 points per game, which is good for 12th in the nation. QB Sam Hartman is careful with the football, and the Demon Deacons can give up some yards and points and still win.

With Army, you always know what you are going to get. With their triple-option offense they are lethal running the ball, coming in second in the country. They are also pretty stout defensively. Last week they held Wisconsin to just over 300 yards in a six-point loss. But the Badgers limited Army’s rushing attack enough to avoid the upset.

Wake Forest is not the defensive team that Wisconsin is, but they are definitely the better offensive team this season. This one could be close for a while, but the Demon Deacons will continue their unbeaten run.
