Boston College is 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a win by 20 or more points while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

I get the case to be made for Boston College here but the Eagles have struggled lately and that’s been against lesser/bottom half teams in the ACC as of late. Wake Forest is playing really well and has been playing some solid offensive basketball in their last couple of games and I look for the Demon Deacons to win by 15-17 points here at the very least. Give me Wake laying the points here.
