Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs NC State Wolfpack Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/22/25

The last time Wake Forest played a game was last Saturday against SMU, winning 77-66. Wake Forest is fighting to build its resume with March just right around the corner. As for NC State, it is coming off a brutal loss to UNC and will be looking to rebound in this matchup in hopes to pick up a victory in front of the home crowd. The Wolfpack are in an absolute rut and really don’t have much left to play for other than pride. Come game time, I think Wake Forest shouldn’t have any issues handling NC State.

NC State has lost 10 out of its last 11 games, and playing against this Wake Forest team isn’t going to get any easier. The last time these 2 teams faced, Wake won by 18 points. Even though that was on their home court, I don’t think the Demon Deacons will have any issues playing on the road. They are fourth in the ACC and giving up just 66.7 points per game. NC State is averaging 69.6 points per game while allowing up 69.8. A big piece of Wake Forest’s success is its ability to swarm opponents and pressure them, which is why foes are only shooting 39.2% from the field this season. Wake Forest should do enough to secure this victory on the road and cover this spread.

Wake Forest vs NC State prediction: Wake Forest -4 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
