Delaware State vs. Wake Forest Prediction

I’m leaning towards Wake Forest here. Not loving this number with the Demon Deacons, but the reality is that they’re a lot more likely to blow out Delaware State than the Hornets are to keep this one close as Delaware State’s given up some crazy point totals against some seriously inferior opposition compared to what they’re up against here. Again, not rushing to bet this game, but I’d side with the Demon Deacons here if anything.
