The North Carolina A&T Aggies will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.
Looking back to last season, North Carolina A&T will look to improve upon their 1-10 record. Similarly, Wake Forest finished with a dismal 4-8 record.
North Carolina A&T is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They finished last season with a mediocre 3-8 record against the spread, so bettors beware.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for North Carolina A&T considering the team didn't win a single game as the underdog last year. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 11 games they played last year would have netted $261.57. Wake Forest will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 3-1 as such last season.
