Stanford Cardinal vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons Predictions

Stanford vs. Wake Forest betting outlook

Wake Forest is 3-1 after beating Louisville 30-27 on September 26. Stanford improved to 2-2 with a 34-27 victory over Georgia Tech that same day. Those narrow wins make Wake Forest the likelier winner at home, but they do not show that the Demon Deacons should be favored by more than two touchdowns.

The SPF line lists Wake Forest at -14.5 and -625 on the moneyline, with Stanford at +14.5 and +455. The moneyline asks bettors to risk too much on Wake Forest, while the lack of season statistics and confirmed starters makes the spread difficult to assess. The best betting choice is Pass.

Stanford's absences

Action Network reports that Stanford center Aidan Kilstrom remains out and cornerback Brandon Nicholson is likely to miss the rest of the season after a leg injury against Georgia Tech. Kilstrom's absence matters against Stanford's offensive line, but the available reporting does not establish how much either injury should affect the 14.5-point spread.
