NC State at Wake Forest

This is a huge game for Wake Forest as the Demon Deacons are 4-5 and need to find two wins in their last three games, one of which is at Notre Dame. This is their final home game, and if they are to become Bowl eligible this is a game they must win, so a full effort is likely. Wake is better than their record, but 16 turnovers in their last 7 games has pulled the plug on finding the win column, and they need to clean that up if they want to win. One thing that the turnovers has limited is their ability to score, and I think they are a good candidate to play OVER. NC State is part of the reason why this total is low. The Wolf Pack has managed just 47 total points in its last three games. That was against very strong defensive teams in Miami, Fla., Clemson, and Duke. I think they manage a lot more on Saturday. The last nine meetings between these teams has seen more than 43.5 points scored. I like the OVER in this one.
