The Wake Forest Demon Deacons aim to win bowl games in back-to-back years for the first time since 2007 and 2008 when they take on the Texas A&M Aggies here in the Belk Bowl.

The Demon Deacons are coming off a 31-23 home loss as a 10.5-point favorite against Duke in their regular season finale on November 25, but had won back-to-back games prior to that. They're 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight games following a ATS loss and 8-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Texas A&M will play under interim coach Jeff Banks following the firing of Kevin Sumlin on Nov. 26. This is a very tough spot for the Aggies. Banks knows he won't lead the team next season with Jimbo Fisher set to take over, and the players will have to figure out however the temporary coach wants them to play. Texas A&M took a 45-21 loss at LSU in its regular season finale and was outgained by a massive 319 yards so there's not much positive going on in Texas A&M.

Aggies are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game and 0-5 ATS in their last five against teams from the ACC.

My selection is a 10* play on Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
