Wake Forest +3.5
The 15th ranked Pittsburgh Panthers & 16th ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons will square off at Bank of America Stadium in the ACC Championship game and I think Wake Forest does enough with the points to cover in this one.
Pittsburgh has been led by an offense that ranks 4th in scoring offense, however, they are going to have to deal with a Wake Forest offense that has been equally as dangerous, ranking 3rd in scoring offense.
The biggest difference between the two teams is on the defensive side of the ball as the Wake Forest has been hurt most by opposing rushing attacks and have been somewhat solid against the pass, while Pittsburgh has generally struggled against opposing passing attacks, coming into this game ranked just 112th in College Football in passing defense.
The Panthers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games as favorite. The Demon Deacons are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games.
I’m expecting a high-scoring game in this one, however, as I think Wake Forest will have no issue in putting up plenty of points against the Pittsburgh passing defense, I think the Demon Deacons do enough at worst with the points to cover. Good Luck!
