College football odds, picks and prediction for Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Duke Blue Devils. Week 10 betting free pick and game analysis.
Both Duke and Wake Forest are stuck in slumps, and while our college football picks think one of these sides is being mispriced, both teams will struggle to score — read on to find out why.Two teams with injury troubles face a short turnaround in this Thursday night ACC showdown between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Duke Blue Devils .
There are several key injuries to monitor for the Blue Devils, who were without star left tackle Graham Barton, starting corner Myles Jones, and tight end Nicky Dalmolin against Louisville while quarterback Riley Leonard continues to play through discomfort due to an ongoing ankle injury.
Let’s move over to Wake’s offense now. It’s odd to say this about a Dave Clawson team, but the Demon Deacons have struggled mightily on offense. After three straight years averaging at least 36 ppg and six straight years of at least 31 ppg, they’re outside the Top 100 in scoring offense with just 22.2 ppg this season. The advanced metrics are even uglier — Wake ranks 128th in EPA per play and 119th in explosiveness.
Duke’s secondary has been a no-fly zone and holds a decent advantage in the trenches, so this should be another long day for Wake Forest’s offense on the road and a short turnaround, when Griffis has been playing through injury and has been ineffective regardless. Clawson has said that his team hasn’t been “functioning at the quarterback position” lately and while he said Griffis played better last week, that wasn’t the case in my eyes, as he completed just six of 16 attempts for 82 yards against Florida State. The Demon Deacons struggle to pass protect and Griffis holds on to the ball way too long with regularity, and the receivers haven’t made the typical impact we see in this scheme.
