Campbell at Wake Forest: Three things to know
- Wake Forest is coming off a Sept. 12 loss to top-ranked (Amway Coaches Poll Powered by USA Today Sports) Clemson, 37-13, a Sept. 19 loss to N.C. State (45-42), and a bye week. In the loss to the Wolfpack, the Demon Deacons battled back from a mid-third-quarter 35-21 deficit to take a four-point lead, 42-38, with 9:12 remaining in the game. A late NC State touchdown closed out the scoring and sent Wake Forest to its fifth loss in its last six games.
- Campbell is an FCS program playing against an FBS school for a fourth-straight week. The Fighting Camels are a member of the Big South Conference which has opted to hold its main competition in the spring. Friday’s contest in Winston-Salem will end a truncated four-game fall slate for Campbell. The Camels have played, in order, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, and Appalachian State. The markets have been giving Campbell around four TDs per game, and the Camels have come through with a 3-0 mark against the spread.
- Sophomore QB Sam Hartman threw for 830 yards in four games last season. Hartman went 23-of-36 (63.9%) for 236 yards and a TD against NC State two weeks ago. Look for the young signal-caller to be a key facet in an area of relative dominance on Friday (Wake Forest’s passing game vs. Campbell’s pass defense).

Prediction
Wake Forest 45, Campbell 7
Money line (ML)
Unlisted.
Against the spread (ATS)
Expect Wake Forest to try to right the ship on its running game (2.2 YPC through two games), but the widest disparity in the matchup should be Hartman and the Deacon passing game against an overmatched foe. With the same head coach-offensive coordinator tandem in place, WFU has covered each of the last three times the Deacons were favored by 4 TDs or more.
Look for Campbell to be dinged up after punching above its weight for three straight weeks. In all three games, the Camels have logged garbage-time touchdowns; that colors the scores a bit better than what the game flow truly was. BACK THE DEMON DEACONS -34.5 (-110). New to sports betting? A $110 bet on Wake Forest -34.5 (-110) pays a $100 profit if Wake Forest beats Campbell by 35 or more points.
Over/Under (O/U)
