Why Wake Forest Will Cover The Spread

Wake Forest has struggled against good teams this season. In order to cover this spread, the Demon Deacons need to play good defense. They are actually middle of the pack defensively in the ACC, so there is a chance they can have a good game. Notre Dame can score pretty well, but if Wake Forest can hold them to 35 or less points, they should be able to cover the spread. The Demon Deacons allow just 24.6 points per game this season, so holding Notre Dame to five or less touchdowns is possible.

Why Notre Dame Will Cover The Spread

Notre Dame can score. They average 418 yards per game, and 36.8 points. The Fighting Irish have scored 41 or more points in six of their seven wins. Notre Dame is favorited by 24.5 points in this game, and they will need to score 40+ if they want to cover this spread. Luckily, the Fighting Irish have Hartman, and Estime. Scoring on the Wake Forest defense should not be a problem for them.

Notre Dame should not have a problem holding Wake Forest down in this game. Wake Forest struggles on offense, both passing, and rushing. Notre Dame allows just 16.9 points per game on the season, 279.8 total yards. Their defense is going to be able to hold Wake Forest to under 20 points for sure. Doing this will help them cover the spread.

Final Wake Forest-Notre Dame Prediction & Pick

The Spread is at 24.5 and that is very high. However, Notre Dame is good, and the game is South Bend. I expect the Fighting Irish to crush Wake Forest in this game, and cover the spread.

Final Wake Forest-Notre Dame Prediction & Pick: Wake Forest -24.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110)
