I don't take much from Wake Forest nearly losing to Old Dominion last week as that was clearly a bit of a trap game. Georgia Tech looks miles better offensively than it did last year but that unit will be without WR Chase Lane for a second game in a row. He has six catches for 105 yards and a TD. I could see this being decided by a field goal but obviously expect the home side to prevail so we'll roll with the ML now that it's reasonable. Both Micah and Kenny are on Wake ATS so that's certainly reassuring, but I'm not messing with the hook.

We get a rare bargain on a game. Wake Forest opened minus eight and has been bet down to -3.5. Demon Deacon HC Dave Clawson has done a great job with the program winning 19 games the past two years. He played an easy three game warm up schedule with a big comeback win last week at Old Dominion. GT HC Brent Key is in his second year and it looks like he is improving the program however they are not at the level of Wake Forest. My model has Wake by 11 1/2 points. I'll play this overlay for 1 1/2 units.

Wake Forest is at home here and the number feels off by 4-points even though Georgia Tech (1-2) has had the more formidable opponents with the two losses coming against Louisville and Ole Miss in high-scoring games. Wake Forest won all three of their games against weaker opponents. Tech QB Haynes King has been very effective in all three of his starts averaging 300+ yards-per-game, but they’re allowing 7.2 yards-per-play defensively ranking 129th. I like Wake Forest to take advantage. Wake Forest to cover.
