Wake Forest vs Delaware Prediction
I’m on Wake Forest here. I get that Delaware is still in the hunt for bowl eligibility, but I think it can still come next week against UTEP. Wake Forest is just heads and shoulders the better team here and while there’s a rivalry game on deck, I don’t see that being a hiccup for the Demon Deacons here. Give me Wake Forest in this one.
