Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines for Wake Forest vs UConn

An ACC team comes to UConn. If they win, there is a good chance that Jim Mora’s team will become the talk of college football deep cuts.

There is still a game at Syracuse after this, but getting to 9-3 is a good goal if this works out.

Wake Forest can not miss this one. It has only beat one FBS team, NC State a few weeks ago. This is the first of five road games in a row. At 2-4, this loss means they will not be going to the bowl game.

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Wake Forest needs to get to work on this right away.

The offense likes to throw it, but when it sets its sights on the bit, it is been able to get five yards per run. The North Carolina A&T win was just a practice game.

The Demon Deacons must be in charge of the story from the start, and UConn must not be able to control the time of possession fight.

The Seminoles lost to UConn, but they lost a lot of yards. They ran for 248 yards. As simple as it sounds, set up the pass with the run against the Huskies.

Why UConn Will Win

The UConn running game has been hit or miss—it stopped working in the win over Temple two weeks ago—but when it is on a roll, it is hard to stop.

Duke’s defense has been great. In its 26–21 win over the Huskies, it let them gain 4.8 yards per run. Each pop for UConn this year has gained five yards, and they have scored 250 yards three times.

In three of the last four games, Wake Forest has given up 200 yards or more.

Wake Forest vs UConn: Who Will Win

This is all UConn has to offer.

Let us see if the team can handle a mid-level Power Four school in this ACC game. It needs to start fast, not give up a lot of turnovers, and do what it does.

The Huskies will win easily because they will run.
