Army has had a tough start to the season and is 0-3 vs FBS competition. The running game is doing its thing, but the defense hasn't been as good as it has in recent years. Here comes Wake Forest at 4-1 which is a stark contrast to the Black Knights. Army runs most of the time while Wake is going to put the ball in the air a lot. Army slows games down which makes it tough to beat the spread against them when they are a huge dog. The Black Knights are 14-7-1 ATS in their last 22 games taking 17 or more points. Navy is 32-20-1 ATS in the same situation. That shows how hard it is to get distance on these option-oriented teams. Make the play on Army.

Pro Picks
Army at Wake Forest
Perhaps the most surprising thing about this Army team this season isn't the 4-3 record and potential Bowl bid, it is the fact that the Black Knights are third in the country, allowing just 258 yards per game. That isn't good news for a Wake Forest team that has generated just 4.7 yards per play against a schedule of teams allowing 5.5. The offense has not been there for Wake Forest for the last few years. Army is generating 5.6 yards per carry out of the triple-option, but that has been against opponents allowing 5.7, so they have not been anything special. The Demon Deacons are a good defensive team, and has seen Army every year since 2012, so they have a pretty good idea of what to expect. I just don't see any surprises, and both defenses will have the edge when they are on the field. Play this one to stay UNDER.
