The spread doesn't reflect the vast difference between these two teams. Not to mention that Duke's David Cutcliffe is one of my favorite coaches as the Blue Devils are 24-11-1 ATS in their last 36 games.

Duke might appear down this season, although quarterback Daniel Jones' play against NC Central last week was a cause for optimism, but the Blue Devils are still a touchdown better than lowly Wake Forest.

The Demon Deacons gained only 175 yards against Tulane last week in a 7-3 victory. The Demon Deacons can't match Duke's passing game. The Blue Devils should have their confidence up scoring on seven of their first 10 possessions last week.

Duke has won and covered each of the past four seasons versus Wake Forest with each victory coming by six or more points.
