<h2>
Wake Forest at NC State Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Wake Forest is coming off Saturday’s 41-24 loss against Syracuse as a six-point home underdog to fall to 4-5 straight-up with a dismal 2-7 record against the spread. The total stayed UNDER 78.5 points in that game after going OVER in six of its previous seven games. The Demon Deacons only SU victory in the ACC was against Louisville the last week in a 56-35 rout as three-point underdogs on the road.
</p>
<p>
Adding even more misery to a season headed in the wrong direction is the loss of quarterback Sam Hartman for the remainder of the year with a leg injury. He threw for 275 yards and two scores in Saturday’s loss while adding another 51 yards on the ground. Jamie Newman could get the call as the new starter, but he has just seven completions on 15 passing attempts to date. The bigger issue is Wake Forest’s porous defense, which is allowing an average of 37.2 points per game.
</p>
<p>
NC State bounced back from a pair of road losses to Clemson and Syracuse both SU and ATS with a 47-28 victory against Florida State on Saturday as a 9.5-point home favorite. The Wolfpack have gone 6-2 SU overall with a 3-2 record in conference play. They are an even 4-4 ATS with the total going OVER in four of their last six games.
</p>
<p>
Ryan Finley completed 21 of his 27 passing attempts against the Seminoles for 240 yards and three touchdowns. The Wolfpack added another 177 yards running the ball on 49 rushing attempts. On the year, Finley has thrown for 2,490 yards and 16 touchdowns as part of an offense that is ranked 10th in the nation in passing yards per game. NC State is averaging 32.5 points a game while allowing 25.5 points on defense.

Wake Forest at NC State Prediction 11/08/2018

Wake Forest has been beaten pretty bad by the better teams it has faced this season, and the loss of Hartman will not help the cause. NC State continues to beat the teams it is supposed to as one of the top three programs in the ACC this season. Finley has been able to establish himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the conference.

Given just how bad the Demon Deacons have played on defense this season, the Wolfpack should be able to cover the 17 points at home with relative ease.
