These two teams met for the opener last season at Baylor with Wake Forest getting the win 41 to 13. The Deacons had the better club last year but the final score was helped by the Bears turning the ball over five times which led to 21 points for Wake. This game should be much more competitive even with Baylor having to travel. In that loss to Wake in their opener last season the Bears looking for a spark at the half put freshman QB Robert Griffin into the game and he didn’t make much difference in the Wake contest but he certainly helped them the rest of the season. He threw for 15 touchdowns and 3 interceptions last season plus added another 1,118 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. Needless to say he is a threat on the offensive side of the ball and the Bears return 8 starters on offense. Baylor has the edge when their offense faces the Wake defense, the Demons lost seven starting defensive players from a year ago which included a quad of NFL draftees. Wake returns a decent offensive line, core group of running backs and their senior QB Riley Skinner but we still give the edge to Baylor here. Baylor is also active in one of our CFB Systems that says to Play ON a non-conference underdog in this price range before at least ten days of rest and a home game on deck. These underdogs are a perfect 8-0 ATS and average covering the number by 15.7 points per game. Take the points here as the Baylor Bears pull off the mild upset on the road over the Demon Deacons on Saturday.
