My biggest bet of the season goes out today, tex am vs wake forest. Both teams are 7-5, but in my opinion, wake forest faced a tougher competition. Since theyre in the ACC, they played Clemson, Louisville and Florida st. If ur talking about speed and athleticism, wake have seen it all. They lost by 2 tds to no 1 team clemson, they scored 37pts at Notre dames home field. Both of this teams doesn't have much defense during the regular season but the 1st key to this game is tex am interim head coach. They fired their head coach and now they're coached by a special teams coach. I don't see a lot of motivation and preparation with tex am since they're in a transition.

On the other hand, wake forest we got a 2nd yr coach who played in a bowl game last year. They won that bowl game last yr btw against temple 34-26. We got a really good qb in John Wolford 25 tds with only 6 ints, 63% completion this season. Also this will be held in Charlotte which is only a 90 min drive from wake forest campus. I expect a home town crowd on this one.

Lastly and this one is the nail in the coffin for me. Strength of schedule, teams efficiency, offensive, defensive all in favor of wake forest, special teams are about the same. I got wake forest efficiency ranking combined on all categories inside the top 20 while tex am is outside of top 50 in the nation. I looked at all the bowl games this year with the same huge gap in the rankings as this game. We got 3 blowouts, troy beat n texas 50-30, temple beat FIU 28-3, and Kansas st over UCLA 35-17. Those 3 are all faves, lines ranging from -4 to -7. Wake is the favorite for a reason, now we pounce it!

Again, nothing is ever guaranteed and nobody's putting a gun on ur head. Play within ur means. Just wanna thank all u guys who contributes to this forum. I'm a better player than I've ever been because of this forum. This play is for u guys. It won't be close, Wake by at least 2 tds, final score 38-17.

Black Mamba...It does indeed look like a stellar play for all the reasons you cite and perhaps will be another blowout in our favor with a soft line. Just like to point out that there have been 5 bowl games to date this campaign with interim coaches and only Florida St. covered. Record is 1-4 ATS and SU.

Locked and loaded from here in Tulsa, lol. Just a short drive from Fort Worth. Like this play a lot, Wake has played with a lot of gusto this season and playing at BoA Stadium is close to a home game. There'll be a helluva lot more Wake fans than Aggie fans in those stands today. GL to us all!

My feelings, exactly. Been waiting for this game for three weeks. Also, my biggest bet of the bowl season for all the same reasons.

A nice write up I found from a respected capper

Sometimes playing close to home can be a detriment in bowl season because players don't feel like it's much of a reward if you don't travel. I don't sense that with Wake Forest, who defeated Temple last year 34-26 in the Military Bowl as a 12-point underdog. Granted Temple might have been over-inflated given the fact they were 10-0 ATS in the regular-season but were playing their first game without their head coach. In that game they held the Owls to -20 rushing yards. However that was their first bowl appearance since 2011 and I think it's interesting that Wake is 3-1 in bowls since 2007 so it's fairly obvious when they get to the post-season they take any invite very seriously. It's also safe to say Wake hasn't had a season at quarterback like the one John Wolford compiled this year. Remember Wolford is a rarity in the college game as a 4-YEAR STARTER. This season a 25-6 ratio and those 25 touchdowns matches Riley Skinner's total in 2009 and he too was a four-year starter. Wake Forest lost to Duke 31-23 in their regular-season finale on 11/25. But that is just one of the reasons I like the Deacons, who are 7-0 ATS following a straight-up spread loss the last two years. Plus, and this is remarkable, Wake is 8-0 STRAIGHT-UP IN DECEMBER games since 1992 and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 on a neutral field including 7-0 ATS in all minor bowls. Texas A&M is kind of a strange team in the sense the Aggies are 1-9 ATS following any road game the last three years. They lost at LSU 45-21 in their finale allowing 601 total yards to the Tigers and committing four turnovers. A&M yielded 452 rushing yards in their final two games at Ole Miss and at LSU. Wake had back-to-back road games in November when their offense accounted for an amazing 101 points at Notre Dame and Syracuse when they ran for 610 yards and passed for 711 yards. Those numbers are accurate: 1,321 total yards in two straight ROAD GAMES at Notre Dame and Syracuse. That is borderline insanity considering Wake averaged 20.4 points a game last season, 17.4 in 2015, and 14.8 in 2014. Granted Wake lost top wide receiver Greg Dortch but that was the day before Halloween. I think they've played enough without him and have a tight end with nine touchdown receptions. Plus the games versus Notre Dame and Syracuse came AFTER the first two games after the Dortch injury. What makes Wake difficult to defend is their misdirection running attack and the fact Wolford averages 8.6 yards per attempt. The SEC middle-of-the-pack teams like A&M just weren't that good this year. Wake has posted two straight winning seasons with a bowl victory last year after eight consecutive losing seasons. Talk about a team with momentum. The Deacons were 3-9 in 2014 and 2015. I would certainly say Coach Clawson has been a big improvement in Winston Salem. Do you really think A&M cares about the Belk Bowl? They have bigger fish to fry starting in 2018 w/ Jimbo! Kicking myself when I could have given out Wake Forest last night at -3.
