Stanford vs. Wake Forest Picks

Point Spread Pick for Stanford vs. Wake Forest

  • Stanford Cardinal to cover. (4 Units)

The Cardinal have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 76 points per game in their last three games, while making over 46 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 82 percent of their free throws during that span, while the Demon Deacons made less than 75 percent of theirs. They’re the better rebounding team as well, and they grab more than nine offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They don’t turn the ball over much, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Demon Deacons aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up more than 83 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Cardinal. Take Stanford to cover the spread.
