#4 Florida State at Wake Forest Prediction, Odds and Trends in Week 9

 

While there are some other unbeaten teams to be found across the nation, it is, at least for the time being, the top 6 teams that are the current favorites to be battling it out for one of the coveted playoff spots. MyBookie Sportsbook Regular Season Football Betting Preview: Tuesday, October 24 to Saturday, October 28, 2023 | #4 Florida State vs Wake Forest

 

Each of those 6 teams at the top are unbeaten for now, but they all have arguably their toughest matchups still to come. The Florida State Seminoles are in that group and have what looks to be a very winnable game in Week 9, but these are the type of games that can often trip up teams that look to be rolling. Despite the gap in talent, it’s ever easy to go on the road and take out a conference rival. The Seminoles are favored by 20 ½, with the total set at 53.5

Why bet on the Florida State Seminoles

Heading into the season, a lot of college football fans were looking at Florida State as a potential dark horse. To this stage of the year, they are living up to the hype, going a perfect 7-0 to take control of the ACC and put themselves in the top 4. You look at their remaining schedule and you see what looks to be a pretty clear path to the Conference Championship Game, but there is a reason why we play these games instead of simply relying on how things look on paper. The Seminoles have now won 8 in a row against conference foes, and they have also won 7 of their last 10 meetings with the Demon Deacons. They have been a great pick against the spread in road games, covering in 7 of their last 8 games away from home, although they are just 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 against Wake Forest. The OVER has hit in 4 of their last 5 in the month of October.

Why bet on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons

The Demon Deacons come into this one with a 4-3 record, but when you look at the bigger picture, things aren’t quite as rosy as that record would suggest. Their biggest issue is that they have not been very good in conference games, going just 1-3 SU through their first 4. That leaves them well off the pace being set at the top by their opponent this weekend, but as I said at the start, this is still a potential trap game for the Seminoles. That is because the Demon Deacons are a bit of a nightmare when playing at home, winning 17 of their last 20 games in their own building. They are also 13-3 SU in their last 16 games played in the month of October. In their last 5 games played in Week 9, Wake Forest has covered 4 times. 4 of their last 5 home games against the Seminoles have gone UNDER the point total.
