All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Virginia vs Wake Forest Game Preview


Why Wake Forest Will Win

Shhhhhhh, the Demon Deacons are still unbeaten after taking down Florida State with ease.

They beat Old Dominion and Norfolk State to start the season – no big whoop. The performance against the Seminoles wasn’t a total shocker, but this was over after the first half with six takeaways and an offense that capitalized on almost everything.

Veteran QB Sam Hartman threw a pick against FSU, but other than that he’s been sharp. He might take a back seat this week, though, to a ground game that should rip through a a Virginia defense that’s giving up over 200 yards per game.

Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why Virginia Will Win

The Cavaliers are throwing really, really well.

While Wake Forest is rolling through the mediocre – to be kind – Virginia’s Brennan Armstrong threw for 554 yards and four scores in the wild 59-39 loss last week. That wasn’t anything new, though.

The Cavaliers hit Illinois for 423 passing yards in a 32-point win, and warmed up the nation’s second-best passing attack behind WKU with well over 300 yards against William & Mary.

The Demon Deacon secondary hasn’t been tested yet. That’s about to change in a very big way.

What’s Going To Happen

Like you’re doing anything better on Friday night. Get ready to enjoy a whole lot of points and a combined 700 yards through the air.

It might not be the Virginia-North Carolina shootout last week with over 1,200 yards, but it’ll be a whole lot of fun.

Wake Forest will blink first against a Virginia D that’s a whole lot better than it played against the Tar Heels. There’s no letting up, though – the Cavaliers will have to play for a full four quarters to keep up.

Why Virginia Will Win

Third downs, third downs, third downs.

Third down offense has been an issue for Virginia, and this is the week to get past it.

The Wake Forest offense is great, and it’s not making a whole lot of mistakes, but it can’t do anything defensively on third downs. It’s one thing to get rolled by Clemson, but NC State and Campbell were able to combine to convert 15-of-29 third down tries.

The Cavalier offensive line is playing well and the team is dominating the tempo. UVA leads the ACC in time of possession and Wake Forest doesn’t seem to care that much about keeping its offense on the field.

The Cavaliers will have the ball for an extra ten minutes – at least – and could dominate if they can convert on third downs.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Virginia isn’t doing a whole lot of Virginia things.

Bronco Mendenhall teams always dictate the tempo, but this one has too many special teams breakdowns, the passing game isn’t getting anything down the field, and there are too many turnovers.

It doesn’t help the already-struggling passing game that QB Brennan Armstrong is in the concussion protocol and is iffy at best to go.

Wake Forest has had a few weeks off after the Notre Dame game was postponed, and it’s very rested, and apparently very salty. So far the team isn’t getting flagged, it’s not turning the ball over, and there haven’t been any problems scoring.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Virginia has the talent to be a whole lot better than it has been, but it doesn’t have the passing game to exploit Wake Forest’s issues. The Demon Deacons will struggle to get control of the game because they won’t have the ball enough, but they’re not going to make enough mistakes to lose this at home. It’ll come down to the final seconds, and after a shaky start to the season, PK Nick Sciba will come through.
