Get ready for an ACC battle as the Florida State Seminoles and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons will face off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty points totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet.
When you finish with 295 more yards than your opponent like FSU did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They took their game against the Boston College Eagles by a conclusive 44-14 score. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 31 to nothing. The Seminoles can attribute much of their success to RB Trey Benson, who punched in two rushing touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Wake Forest fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Clemson Tigers last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 51-45. Yes, you read that final score correctly. And yes, they were playing football. The losing side was boosted by QB Sam Hartman, who passed for six TDs and 337 yards on 29 attempts.
FSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.
FSU is now a perfect 4-0 while Wake Forest sits at 3-1. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Seminoles enter the game with 12 rushing touchdowns, good for 12th best in the nation. The Demon Deacons have displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they come into the contest boasting the second most passing touchdowns in the nation at 16.
