Wake Forest vs Boston College Prediction
Wake Forest is coming into this game as a 4.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Wake Forest has slipped up a bit in their recent games but they have been playing very well for the most part this season. Boston College had a great start to their season with 4 straight wins but they quickly dropped off losing 5 of their next 7 games. Wake Forest has a very potent offense this season and is averaging almost 40 points per game. Boston College is going to have no answer for this strong offense and Wake Forest will likely score a lot of points on them. The best bet to place in this game is on Wake Forest to cover the spread here as they will be looking to bounce back from their loss in their last game.

Notable Quotes
"Clemson outplayed us and outcoached." - Dave Clawson on his team’s loss against Clemson in their last game.
"They've got two really good defensive ends and a defensive tackle and he took some shots early. I thought we adjusted well and took less shots in the second half. But early on, he took some shots and he's a tough kid. He hung in there, but we definitely have to protect better." - Jeff Hafley on his team’s loss against FSU in their last game.
