Wake Forest Demon Deacons (ATS) ..

Wake Forest is a team with plenty of experience. The big two of Sallis & Hildreth are an excellent duo and have been great at the College level. Unlike most teams, the Demon Deacons are actually quite good on the road. They've won 56% of their away games this season and pose a threat in all games.

On the other hand, I believe that SMU is quite overrated. Unlike in College Football, the Mustangs weren't really projected to finish anywhere near the top of the ACC according to most. They've been quite surprising, especially recently where they've won five consecutive games. Having said that, I expect Wake Forest to give them a run for there money. Even if the Decons aren't able to win, which they are more than capable of doing, look for them to keep it within seven points on Saturday. Don't be shocked if an upset results though.

Score Prediction: 74-73 Wake.
