Wake Forest vs Detroit Prediction
The Detroit Mercy Titans have competed this season regardless of the results, and it’s led to covers in 6 of their last 7 games. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are the more talented team, have just one loss, and they get after it defensively. However, Wake Forest is also 1-5 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 4 straight games as a double-digit favorite. Give me Detroit and the points.
