- NC State is favored by 7 points against Wake Forest in Week 3.
- Robby Ashford’s odds for his passing yard total are set at 199.5.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Week 3 of the college football season kicks off on Thursday with an ACC matchup between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and N.C. State Wolfpack, where the Pack are a touchdown favorite to win.
N.C. State Vs. Wake Forest
- Moneyline: N.C. State (-270) vs. Wake Forest (+220)
- Spread: N.C. State -7
- Total: 53.5
Do not be fooled by Wake Forest’s 2-0 record against FCS Western Carolina and C-USA’s Kennesaw State. Not to mention, their win over Kennesaw State came on a game winning field goal with under three minutes to play.
This is still the same, if not significantly worse, Demon Deacons team that lost five of their seven games to P4 opponents last season by 7+ points.
On the other end, this is an N.C. State team that is also coming off of two straight wins including a 7-point win in their season opener and a 35-31 win against Virginia in Week 2.
Overall, the numbers speak for themselves here, where N.C. State has a higher passing, rushing, and receiving yard totals and a higher point total on offense.
Bet Ashford Over Playing From Behind
Robby Ashford Total Passing Yards
- Over 199.5 -114
- Under 199.5 -114
This is a good spot to take Ashford’s odds to go over his passing yard total on college football betting sites. Wake will more than likely be playing from behind in this one, forcing them to abandon the run at some point and lean on Ashford to push them up field.
Also, while his touchdown numbers don’t reflect this, his yardage total is decent through two games thus far at 445. That puts him at a 225.5 yard average per game, which is well over his set total here against N.C. State. He put up 218 in Week 1 and 227 in Week 2.
