#16 NC State at #12 Wake Forest Final Betting Prediction

NC State has a good defense, but it has yet to face an offensive juggernaut like Wake Forest. Wake quarterback Sam Hartman has thrown for 2,873 yards and 27 touchdowns to just 5 picks.

But although Hartman is great, there is a flaw in his stat line that should concern the Deacons. The Wake Forest quarterback completes just 62.5% of his passes. 

That’s not terrible. It might be disastrous versus an NC State team that allows just 220.9 passing yards per. Also, the Wolfpack are 6-3 ATS while for all of Wake’s scoring prowess, the Deacons are just 4-5 ATS.

North Carolina State is the best team Wake Forest has faced this season. Before losing to North Carolina, Hartman and the offense had success versus Syracuse, a game they won in overtime, Army, and Duke.

NC State steps it up on Saturday. The Wolfpack offer value to hand Wake their second straight loss.
