Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica:
NC State got the win against NIU last week but had just 171 yards, were plus-4 in turnovers and got a non-offensive touchdown. Wake is 1-3, but two of its losses were decided by a combined four points against similarly talented teams in Virginia and UL Lafayette. You could hold out in hopes of a six here as well, as I think you might see one.
PICK: Wake Forest (+5.5) to lose by fewer than 5.5 points, or win outright
