Clemson vs Wake Forest
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Clemson TT o36.5
Clemson rolls into this game on a four-game winning streak and they have won all four games by at least 16 points. The Tigers have been very solid on both sides of the ball so far this year and should handle this Wake Forest team pretty easily. The Demon Deacons did pick up a win against NC State last week, but they played very poorly in the second and third quarters and allowed 81 points in the two games prior to NC State. I don’t see how this Wake defense is going to get many stops in this game and their offense is going to struggle against Clemson’s defense. Take Clemson to not only win by three Tuddys but to score 49+ points here.
