Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored North Carolina State last Wednesday, but the final result did not. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 67-64. North Carolina State has not had much luck with the Panthers recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Wake Forest hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 80.7 points per game. However, it's not like North Carolina State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 75.2 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Going forward, Wake Forest is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by eight points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a four game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.
