Against the spread
BET WAKE FOREST +23.5 (-105).
The Hurricanes, led by Ward and a dynamic receiving corps, boast one of college football’s most explosive offenses. Their balanced attack combines Ward’s precision passing with Martinez’s strong rushing, making them tough to stop. While Miami is likely to win, covering the spread is another story—they’re just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games. Wake Forest, 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 2-0 ATS in their last 2 head-to-head meetings, can keep this game close.
Over/Under
BET OVER 66.5 (-110).
Miami and Wake Forest thrive in the red zone, making this a potential high-scoring game. Miami averages 35+ points per game and is 4-2 hitting the Over in their last 6, thanks to their ability to finish drives with TDs. Wake Forest counters with one of the ACC’s most efficient red-zone offenses. With both teams capable of quick scoring and sustained drives, this matchup sets up perfectly to push the total Over.
