The UNC betting information that we’re going to be breaking down is going to be interesting, so you’re going to have to continue reading.
As a top-15 team in the entire nation, North Carolina Tar Heels is expected to win this game. However, as we’ve seen in the past, Wake Forest Demon Deacons can spoil teams’ seasons, and that’s exactly what they’re going to look to do right here.
Continue reading below for our UNC vs Wake Forest betting and find out who we’re going to be taking in this exciting contest.
North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Stats
North Carolina Stats
North Carolina comes into this game as arguably the best team in the ACC outside of Clemson. There’s even a decent argument to be made that this team might be better than Clemson.
Their one loss on the season was against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as they lost that game by 12 points.
NCAAF Stats
North Carolina does have a tendency at times of not getting stops on defense, but their offense has shown some impressive NCAA football stats, and that’s resulted in them being 8-1 and winning five games in a row. Our UNC vs Wake Forest betting has to factor in these stats.
Wake Forest Stats
Wake Forest started the season off on the right foot, but now they’ve lost two games in a row. At 6-3 overall, it’s easy to see why people believe that this team still deserves to be in a bigger bowl game. However, they’re 2-3 in the ACC, and that’s a major call for concern.
They have some impressive wins on the year against Liberty, Florida State, and a few other teams.
This shows that they can be top 25 teams on any given night, which means that our Wake Forest picks might be backing them in this contest.

NCAAF Standings
When thinking about our Wake Forest picks, it’s going to be an interesting thing that we have to think about here. Because North Carolina is currently a top-15 team in the entire nation for the NCAAF standings, we have to give them the type of respect that they deserve.
However, Wake Forest has shown us throughout the year that they can beat anybody on any given night.
Both teams have had to deal with some college football injuries during the season, but that doesn’t mean that they’re still not playing high-level football.
One of the reasons why these teams are currently in the position that they are in is because of what they can do on both sides of the football when they’re at their best.
North Carolina’s Defense
Although North Carolina has shown lapses on the defensive end, they still do find ways to get stops when it matters most, and that’s the most important thing.
Wake Forest has been impressive for most of the season, and although they are coming off losses against Louisville and North Carolina State, those are typically two of the better teams in the country.
Louisville hasn’t necessarily played great this season, but North Carolina state is typically known as a top-15 program in the country.
They ended up losing that game by nine points, as their defense wasn’t able to do enough in the second half to get the win.
At this point, North Carolina has to realize that if they were to win this game, they would put themselves in a very good position to play in the ACC title game.
ACC Title Game
Playing in the ACC title game and winning that game would likely mean that they’re going up to be in one of the better bowl games in the entire country. It should be one of the best NCAAF matchups of the entire week if both NCAAF teams come out and do what they’re supposed to do.
North Carolina vs. Wake Forest Betting Predictions
We’re finally here with our UNC vs Wake Forest betting, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking North Carolina +3.5 for -110 odds.
Considering that we can get a top-15 team on the road with plus points, it’s always going to be a good idea to back them.
NCAAF Schedule
When looking at the NCAAF schedule that both of these teams have played, it’s easy to see why they’re somewhat comparable, considering that they play in the same conference.
However, North Carolina has continued to show that they can beat any team in the ACC on any given night, while Wake Forest simply hasn’t been able to do that, as they’ve already lost three games in the conference.
Because of how well North Carolina has played in the ACC this season, we’re going to be backing them on the spread line during Saturday’s contest.
NCAAF Pick: North Carolina +3.5 (-110)
