The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will take on the Army West Point Black Knights at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Truist Field. If the game is anything like the Demon Deacons' 70-56 win from their previous meeting in October of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
Wake Forest beat the Florida State Seminoles 31-21 last week. Wake Forest's RB Justice Ellison looked sharp as he rushed for one TD and 114 yards on 18 carries.
Meanwhile, the point spread favored Army last week, but luck did not. They took a hard 31-14 fall against the Georgia State Panthers. A silver lining for Army was the play of QB Tyhier Tyler, who rushed for two TDs and 110 yards. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Tyler has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
This next matchup looks promising for Wake Forest, who are favored by a full 17 points. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.
The Demon Deacons are now 4-1 while the Black Knights sit at 1-3. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Wake Forest comes into the contest boasting the fourth most passing touchdowns in the nation at 18. Army has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they enter the matchup with 301.8 rushing yards per game on average, good for second best in the nation.
