Wake Forest at NC State Betting Pick & Prediction – 10/5/2024

On October 5, 2024 at 12:00 pm ET, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons will go head-to-head with the NC State Wolfpack. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Demon Deacons as 5.5 point underdogs. Currently, 51% of spread bets are favoring Wake Forest, while 49% are backing NC State. The total of 54.5 has led to a split of 51% of bets on the under and 49% on the over. Here, we break down this Wake Forest vs NC State matchup in the ACC and give you our pick for this one in the betting markets.

Wake Forest Still Looking For First FBS Win

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are 1-3 early in the college football season in 2024. Their lone win came against an FCS opponent in North Carolina A&T, while they have lost to three straight FBS opponents since then. Defense has been a huge problem for the Deacs this season, as they have allowed 31 or more points in all three of their games against FBS foes, including 40 or more points in two straight games. If the Demon Deacons do not improve on that side of the ball, they could be looking at a 1-4 start by the end of Saturday's action.

Can NC State Even ACC Record?

Going into this Wake Forest vs NC State game, the NC State Wolfpack have a 3-2 record, but an 0-1 mark in the ACC. The Wolfpack were blown out by Clemson in their only conference game of the season so far. But they will be expected to bounce back in this game against a Wake Forest team that should give the Wolfpack plenty of chances to put points on the board. We could see the best offensive showing of the year from Grayson McCall and company in this contest from Raleigh.

Wake Forest vs NC State Prediction

We are expecting a breakout performance from NC State in Saturday afternoon's Wake Forest vs NC State matchup in the ACC. Their offense should have a ton of success against a Wake Forest team that has been allergic to getting stops against opposing offenses lately. Look for the Wolfpack to win and cover the spread as a home favorite against one of the bottom-feeders in a power conference this year.
