Wake Forest vs Virginia Tech Prediction 

Virginia Tech comes into this matchup with some momentum, as they have won two games in a row and are looking for a 2-0 start in conference play. Wake Forest is 0-2 in the ACC, but they played well last week and nearly beat a good Georgia Tech team. The Demon Deacons have allowed 64 points in their last two games, so I expect Virginia Tech to have another solid outing here. I don’t love backing the Hokies, but I can’t trust Ashford and this Wake Forest offense. Take Va Tech at home.
