The Wake Forest Demon Deacons don’t have a large sample size this season, but they’re a talented club that’s had a lot of offensive success and has shown potential on the defensive side through four games. The Virginia Cavaliers are as well coached as they come and still get after it defensively, but they struggle to score at times and that prevents them from pulling away. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons can find just enough offense in this game to keep things interesting. Too many points. Give me the Demon Deacons in the underdog role.
