Clemson has won four in a row after its season-opening loss to Georgia, and the Tigers just missed their fourth consecutive cover in a 29-13 win over Florida State as a 16.5-point favorite. Cade Klubnik threw for 235 yards and two TDs for the Tigers, who ran for 265 yards at an average of 6.6 yards per carry. The Seminoles' run game was stymied by the Clemson defense as they rushed for just 22 yards on 23 attempts. Clemson has beaten Wake Forest 10 times in a row and the Demon Deacons are 0-5-1 ATS their past six home games and 1-6-1 ATS their past eight games overall. Wake Forest defeated N.C. State 34-30 to sanp a three-game losing streak, but the Demon Deacons have allowed 35.5 points per game against FBS opponents this season. Wake Forest is 0-6 ATS following a win dating to last season and it is eighth-worst in the country in pass defense allowing 291.4 yards per game. Lay the points with Clemson.

Premium Picks
Wake Forest at Clemson
We are not used to seeing Clemson come into Week 6 with a pair of losses. This is still a good team, but Coach Swinney does not have the quality QB he has had in recent years and the offense is not nearly as explosive. Clemson still has an elite defense and has allowed just 267 total yards per game at a very strong 4.3 yards per play. Wake Forest is struggling on offense, and I don't think playing at Clemson is going to help them figure things out, as they will likely be overwhelmed in this match-up. Wake has defended well, and I think they can keep the average Clemson offense from going off here. When there is a total from 49.5 to 56, and the game features a team off an upset loss as a favorite that has a winning percentage of .600 to .800, and playing a winning team, the UNDER is 61-26. Make the play UNDER the total.

Wake Forest at Clemson
Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman (30 TDs, 8 INTs) leads an offense that is #14 in the country with 318 yards per game, second in scoring (45 ppg). The Demon Deacons have four receivers who average at least 15 yards per catch, off a 45-42 win over No. 21 North Carolina State. Wake Forest is 13-6 ATS as a road underdog. Clemson (2-8 ATS) has struggled all year to move the football ranked #100 in passing yards behind QB D.J. Uiagalelei (8 TDs, 7 INTS). The Tigers have been hit hard by injuries, still dealing with a patchwork offensive line, with the ground game averaging just 4.2 yards per carry. And Wake coach Dave Clawson 15-5 ATS on the road in the last month of the season. Play Wake Forest.
