The Demon Deacons lost a tough game to Virginia last week and now face the nation's top scoring offense. The Rebels rank 1st in passing yards and 5th in rushing yards, with a 100 percent red zone conversation rate. Ole Miss is 8th in the nation in turnover margin and second in red zone defense, with a stout run defense (2nd-fewest rush yards allowed).

QB Jaxon Dart is an early Heisman contender and his top four receiving threats all average at least 17.8 yards per reception. The Rebels are serious CFP contenders — they would be if the field was still just four teams, by the way. Wake Forest ranks 121st against the pass and will struggle if they can't pressure the QB. Wake Forest's defense allowed 430 yards of total offense including 357 yards passing last week vs. UVA.

Simply put, the Rebels have too much working in their favor to wager on the Demon Deacons to keep the score closer than three touchdowns after a demoralizing defeat.
