Key Matchups and Handicap: Blue Hens vs Demon Deacons
This is a strange late season non conference game, tucked into the end of both schedules. Wake Forest is 5-1 both straight up and against the spread over its last six games. The Demon Deacons are coming off a 28-12 home win over North Carolina and have a conference trip to Duke on deck, creating a potential look ahead spot.
Delaware enters this matchup licking its wounds after being upset at Sam Houston as a double digit favorite. The Blue Hens sit on five wins and are trying to position themselves for possible bowl eligibility. They are technically not eligible for the postseason while making the FCS to FBS transition, but if there are not enough six win teams to fill the bowl slate, Delaware could be selected if it reaches the threshold.
Power ratings line up neatly with the opening number in this game, suggesting little inherent spread value on the Wake Forest side. The Blue Hens become interesting as large underdogs primarily because Wake Forest has not profiled as a team you want to back laying heavy chalk. Over the last four games, the Deacs have averaged only 16.0 points per game despite winning three of those contests, raising questions about how far they can separate on the scoreboard even in victory.

ATS and Total Picks: Blue Hens vs Demon Deacons
With power ratings closely matching the number and Wake Forest struggling to generate big offensive outputs, the value leans toward Delaware catching more than two touchdowns and a look at a lower scoring game than the total implies.
Spread Pick — Delaware vs Wake Forest
- Pick: Delaware Blue Hens +17.5
- Why: Wake Forest has been winning but not lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 16.0 points over the last four games, which makes it difficult to trust the Demon Deacons to cover a sizeable spread against a motivated underdog.
Total Pick — Blue Hens vs Demon Deacons
- Pick: Under 52.5
- Why: The Deacs low scoring recent profile and a Delaware team looking to grind out bowl qualifying wins point toward a game that can stay below the low 50s.
Final Score Prediction: Delaware vs Wake Forest
Wake Forest Demon Deacons 27, Delaware Blue Hens 17
