Kennesaw State is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 10-1-1 in their last 12 games overall. Wake Forest is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.
I get the case that could be made for the Owls as they already have a pair of solid covers against Power-6 teams this season. However, Wake Forest is just lighting it up right now and while the Owls have brought teams down to their level this season, I don’t know if they’ll have the horses to keep pace with Wake here. Give me the Demon Deacons laying the points here.
