While we are all focused on the top 4 and the potential playoff matchups now that the playoff committee has released their first rankings, it’s easy to forget that there are still a lot of things to consider outside of that top pack. There are conference championships to be won and bowl game berths up for grabs, all of which will be decided over the final month of the college football season. For the teams that are not in the playoff hunt, every game is still important, as some of them still have some big things on the line.
That is very much the case with this game, as both Wake Forest and Virginia Tech both have something to play for this weekend. The Demon Deacons are in the hunt for a very good bowl game opportunity, while the Hokies have their eyes on an ACC Conference Championship Game meeting with Clemson. The loser of this one could well see their hopes for the season dealt a serious blow. Wake Forest is in as a 2-point road favorite, with the point total for this one set at 63.

Kansas State vs Texas 2019 College Football Week 11 Spread & Expert Analysis
Why bet on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons?
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are having a great season to this point, coming into Week 11 with a 7-1 SU record, good enough to have them in at the #19 spot in the rankings. Things could have been even better, though, if they had found a way to get a win over the Louisville Cardinals a couple of weeks back, a game that they lost 62-59 in a shootout.
The unfortunate thing for the Demon Deacons is that they are in the Atlantic Division in the ACC, which means that losing just 1 game in conference play is not enough to get them past the Clemson Tigers. While the Conference Championship Game is a definite longshot for Wake Forest, they have a great shot at a big bowl game. A tough one here, though, as they are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last 5 games against Virginia Tech.

Why bet on the Virginia Tech Hokies?
The Coastal Division of the ACC is about as wide open as it gets, with any number of teams still in with a shot at winning it and getting into the Conference Championship Game. It is the Virginia Tech Hokies who have the inside track right now, leading the division with a 4-2 SU record in conference play.
They survived a 6OT thriller in their last conference game, taking down the North Carolina Tar Heels 43-41, and were then unlucky not to record a huge win last week in a 21-20 loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Hokies have beaten the Demon Deacons in 4 of their last 5 meetings, outscoring them by an average of 15 PPG in those games. The Hokies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games in Week 11.
