Wake Forest returned all 11 starters from an offense that averaged 36 points per game last year, and that is a big reason why the Demon Deacons are 3-0, including a huge win against Florida State on Saturday. The Deacons are averaging 39.3 points in three games this season and rushed for 225 yards against the Seminoles. Virginia is allowing 200.7 rushing yards per game. Sam Hartman completed 71% of his passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns while giving Wake Forest a balanced offense. Virginia's high hopes came crashing down as it was blitzed by North Carolina, 59-39, and the Cavaliers allowed touchdowns on five straight second-half drives. They had no chance against Tarheels QB Sam Howell, who threw 5 TDs and ran for 112 yards. Wake Forest won last year's meeting, 40-23, as a 2.5-point favorite, and the Demon Deacons are 12-5 ATS their past 17 games as road underdogs. Also, Wake Forest has covered five of its last six conference games. Take Wake Forest.
