Virginia Tech at Wake Forest

January 3, 2026
img12:00 PM Eastern

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will host the Virginia Tech Hokies with a noon tip-off today. The Hokies have gotten off to a firm start at 12-2 on the season, while Wake Forest enters at 9-5. This should be an entertaining game, as both teams like to push the ball and, together, average 83 ppg, or 166 total points. The odds-makers look to have left this total on the light side. Virginia Tech has won six in a row and has scored 82 or more points in each of the last four contests. Wake has reached the 80-point mark in 57% of their games, and in a game with an opponent ready to push the ball, I like this one to play OVER the total.
