Adam Richins / USA TODAY Sports

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-2) bring a four-game winning streak to Chapel Hill as they take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (5-2) at noon ET on Saturday. After starting the season 0-2, Dave Clawson's squad has rolled, knocking off FCS-level Campbell and then beating three straight ACC foes by an average of 16 points. After being ranked as high as No. 8 this season, UNC lost to Florida State and Virginia to fall out of the AP Top 25. The Tar Heels are, however, coming off a big 56-24 rivalry win over Duke.

William Hill Sportsbook lists the Tar Heels as 13.5-point favorites in the latest North Carolina vs. Wake Forest odds, up from opening at -12. The over-under for total points is up to 69 after opening at 66.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest ran circles around the Syracuse Orange last week, and the extra yardage (438 vs. 221 ) paid off. The Demon Deacons were the clear victors by a 38-14 margin over Syracuse. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Wake Forest had established a 38-7 advantage. Demon Deacons running back Kenneth Walker III punched in three rushing touchdowns.
