Miami Hurricanes vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons prediction
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are a good team and probably should get the benefit of the doubt at home. The problem is the Miami Hurricanes are probably the more talented team, more efficient offensively, and have proven they can win off their home court. I’m high on Miami and just not eager to leave points on the table regardless of opponent. Give me the Canes and the free buckets in a game they could win outright.
