The NC State Wolfpack haven't won a game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons since Oct. 1 of 2016, but they'll be looking to end the drought on Saturday. The Wolfpack will face off against Wake Forest at 8 p.m. ET at Carter-Finley Stadium. Last year was nothing to brag about for NC State (4-8), so the team is looking forward to a new start. The Demon Deacons were 8-5 last season and are coming off of a 37-13 defeat against the Clemson Tigers on Saturday.
Two last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: NC State was 14th worst when it came to overall offensive touchdowns last year, with the squad coming up with only 28 overall (bottom 90%). To make matters even worse for NC State, Wake Forest was 15th best in the nation (top 12%) in yards per game, finishing the 2019 season with 464 on average.
The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two. We'll see if the game is as close as the oddsmakers expect or if one of these teams has a surprise blowout in them.
