College Football Week 6 Odds, Picks & Prediction: Army vs. Wake Forest
It has been a rough start to the year for the West Point cadets. Losses against all three FBS opponents have highlighted deficiencies on defense, but the triple option on offense has still been effective. In this aspect, Wake Forest presents an interesting matchup.
Very few teams in the country will be able to stop the Demon Deacons' offense. Wake Forest holds the 12th-rated offense per SP+ offensive rankings. For Army to make this a game, they'll need to be able to match them, drive for drive, which they are capable of doing. They proved this in the game last year when Army put up 56 points on this Wake Forest defense, though they gave up 70 themselves. Army will again be able to move the ball on this 89th-ranked SP+ defense. Even in a win in Week 5, Wake Forest allowed Florida State to put up big chunks of yards, but the Seminoles eventually shot themselves in the foot with penalties, turnovers, and missed field goals.
Army can negate the dominance of the Wake Forest offense with methodical drives. The offenses should be able to keep pace with each other, so if Army can get a few stops, they'll give themselves an opportunity for one of the biggest upsets of the year.
Pick: Army ML (+550)
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
